New Beginnings

What does God say through Jeremiah about the New Covenant? Jeremiah 31:27-34

   Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast. ²⁸ And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the Lord. ²⁹ In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge. ³⁰ But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.

³¹ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: ³² not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord: ³³ but this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. ³⁴ And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

What does it mean to “put the law on the inward parts and write in their hearts”? Didn’t Jesus say that, He came to fulfill the law not to destroy it in Matthew 5:17-20 What did Jesus mean by this?

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. ¹⁸ For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. ¹⁹ Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰ For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Clearly there are two major differences indicated here that is “the breakers.” And “the doers.” Which would you rather be in Heaven? What is meant by commandments?

Other scriptures to ponder are: Hosea 8:1-2, Isaiah 58:1, Jeremiah 26, Malachi 3:6

So as one website put it, what would happen if Jesus walked into the churches of today? Would He stay or leave the church?  

Feast in the Lord

As I consider, all the wondrous goodness that the Lord, our God has provided unto me; I cannot but praise the Lord! For our God is an awesome God, He takes cares of all His children, whether they know it or not. As our God refines the way that I believe; I begin to wonder, what crossroads will I cross to do his will in my life? First, let us start with Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? ² God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? And then let us consider Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. Then carefully note what 1 John 3:4 has to say; Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. What law is John referring to? Is that law, the Ten Commandments or not? Now, there is a warning in Jeremiah 6:16-19 that reads as follows:

Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways,
and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way,
and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.
But they said, We will not walk therein.
¹⁷ Also I set watchmen over you, saying,
Hearken to the sound of the trumpet.
But they said, We will not hearken.
¹⁸ Therefore hear, ye nations,
and know, O congregation, what is among them.
¹⁹ Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people,
even the fruit of their thoughts,
because they have not hearkened unto my words,
nor to my law, but rejected it

 

If it is ever God's will that I should marry a wife; I will do nothing less then to serve the Lord, my God with all my heart, my soul, and my mind. Even, if that means doing what is contrary to societies whim. Slowly, but surely God is opening the doors for me to begin a new work for the Lord, our God. Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
