What is a Covenant? Suntheke The common word for a covenant, which is a mutual contractual agreement between equal parties. Diatheke A specialized word for a covenant, which is a contractual agreement between a superior and a lesser party authored solely by the superior. A will. Conclusion: The Gospel is all of God and none of us.

A Better Covenant Hebrews 8: 6 The ministry Jesus has received (as high priest) is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is the mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises. What promises? We will see….

A Better Covenant Jeremiah 31: 31 -33 8: 6 Better promises 8: 9 Based on Jesus’ righteousness, not our own. 8: 10 We serve because we want to, not out of obligation. 8: 10 -11 It is a personal, intimate relationship. 8: 12 Real, lasting forgiveness.
