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.

For some people money is like God for them because they say that they will not live without it. But this is opposite from the word of God is saying. Jesus' said, "Apart from Me, you can do nothing"(John 15:5).
This is not how God teaches us. The thought that says that "YOU CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT MONEY" is a devil's idea and it makes us focus to ourselves rather than our Lord Jesus and what He has done at Calvary. Its a trap that makes us fall away from God. Yes we need money in everyday living but this is not the reason why we are breathing. Its not about money but about right thoughts playing in our minds. The reason why we live is God. Without Him, we are nothing. When we know that apart from Christ we are nothing and in Him we can do anything, money can never enslave us.
Your Heavenly Father is more than willing to see His children living in abundance and every parents knows it. That's why He gave up His only Son that through His poverty we might become rich (see 2 Corinthians 8:9). Friends, don't forget that we are living under grace. Grace is all about Christ and what He has done at Calvary. You are living under the finished work and it takes faith to taste and see His goodness.
Thoughts Of The Day:
