The New Covenant
For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also…

Ministry of Righteousness
Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses’ face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end, will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory? For if there was glory in the ministry of…
-
Once for All
Nor was it to offer Himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, for then He would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put…
-
To Be Purified
Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. Hebrews 9:22-23 quickpage: Lavender Fields by…

Takes Effect
For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. Hebrews 9:16-17 collection: Indian Summer by DitaB Designs related: To give a human example,…

Mediator of a New Covenant

How Much More
For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the…

Not of This Creation
But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) He entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means…

Obsolete
In speaking of a new covenant, He makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

A Single Sacrifice
But our High Priest offered Himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Hebrews 10:12a quickpage by ADB Designs related: He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for…

Christ Died for the Ungodly
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8 stacked…

Assembly of the Firstborn
But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to…

The Offense of the Cross
But if I, brothers, still preach circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed. I wish those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves! Galatians 5:11-12 kit: Joyful Harvest by A Giving Heart Studio context: For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and…

Of No Advantage to You

Galatians 5:2-3 collection: Abundant Blessings by A Giving Heart Studio context: For freedom Christ has set us free;…

Two Covenants
I wish I could be present with you now and change my tone, for I am perplexed about you. Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free…

Slaves You Want to Be Once More
Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to…

Under Guardians
I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles…
-
Until the Offspring Should Come
Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the Offspring should come to Whom the promise had been made, and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary. Now an intermediary implies more than one, but God is one. Galatians 3:19-20 stacked paper (mixed & matched cluster and background): Joyful…

Counts for Anything
