“This is the
covenant I will make with the House of Israel when those days arrive – it is
the Lord who speaks. Deep within them I will plant my Law, writing it on their
hearts. Then I will be their God and they shall be my people” {Jer.31:33}
‘I will make
an everlasting covenant with them; I will not cease in my efforts for their
good and I will put respect for me into their hearts, so that they turn from me
no more’ (Jer.32:40)
“You, my
sheep, are the flock of men I shall pasture and I am your God – it is the Lord
God who speaks” [Ezek.34:31]
As a child of
God are you still walking in line with the new covenant of Christ on the cross
of Calvary with a ransom beyond sordid currency; the blood of Christ, never a
lamb so spotless and pure as our victim {1 Pet.1:19}?
Always have
these at your sub-conscious and conscious mind ‘but anyone who stands firm to
the end will be saved’ (Mtt.24:13) and “nothing unclean may come into it: no
one who does what is loathsome or false, but only those who are listed in the
Lamb’s book of life” [Rev.21:27]
The word of
God is deeply engraved in our hearts waiting for that decision which unlocks
the latch of our hearts from within (“look, I am standing at the door,
knocking. If one of you hears me calling and opens the door, I will come in to
share a meal at that person’s side” Rev.3:20)
The covenant
is everlasting hence God will not cease in His efforts to draw us to himself
until our biological death [‘the dead cannot praise the Lord, those who sink
into silence’ Ps.115:17] but if we honestly, sincerely and eagerly accept his
call rarely will he allow us to fall back to our old sinful nature {“…My Grace
is enough for you: for power is at full stretch in weakness…2 Cor.12:9} unless
we begin to deny dependence on Him and count equality with God (‘the fool has
said in his heart, there is no God. their deeds are corrupt and vile not one of
them does right’ Ps.14:1)
