For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. Hebrews 8:7, NIV We only emphasize that Christian life we are in is not based on another form of religious ritual but on a covenant. The question is what type of covenant are you in? Is it a covenant of religion or a covenant of love? It should be a covenant of love. Love is a person and that is God (see 1 John 4:16). The covenant we are in is a covenant based on who He is and not on who we are. It's based on what He has done and not on what we have done. When you sign an agreement form, you understand what type of covenant or agreement you are signing in. And this is the reason why still many Christians missed the true essence of Christianity. It's because they don't understand the covenant they are in. In result, many are so called Christians are still living a life like they don't have Christ. There's no real transformation happened.

In our previous Senior Youth Bible Study, we have reached 6 young people, ages 12 to 14 years old. We're on Lesson 7 in The Gospel In Ten Words.
In this lesson they learned that being righteous before God is a gift. We don't have to do nothing but just to accept the gift of righteousness in order to be made right with God. They also learned the difference between God's righteousness and self righteousness. They learned that we have been made righteous before God not because of what have done but because of the finished work of Christ.
We pray that may continue to choose to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Glory to Him!
