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. They think Christian...
"So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up."
Galatians 6:9 NLT
It may seems like its unfair in the natural but in the heavenly realms, the truth is, God has stored blessing for you (Efeso 1:3). It may seems like its unfair that the wicked prospers in their wicked schemes and you are not, the bible says, don't get jealous of their wealth for one day they will be destroyed (Psalms 37:9).
Whether it is a career, family, relationship, ministry or whatever aspect in your life it is, keep doing the right thing in God's eyes and never give up. While the wicked will reap a harvest of cursed because of their wicked schemes, you will reap a harvest of blessing because you don't give up in doing good.
In our key verse it says that there is a right time to reap a harvest. Whether it is a harvest of blessing or harvest of cursed, there is a time to reap. Just like our Lord Jesus Christ came and died for the ungodly at the right time (Romans 5:6), there is a right time for you to reap a harvest. You can give up the old habits that still remains in your body but never give up in doing good.
As God's beloved child, His thoughts are always on you (Psalms 139:17). He has made you His righteousness. He sees you blameless and no spot of sin in Christ (Colossians 3:3). So don't ever think that the wicked is better than you when the truth is, you have an overflowing blessing in store for you to manifest at the right time.
