Introduction In the last two blogs, we’ve discussed the old covenant priesthood and how it was abolished to make way for a new covenant with Jesus as the only High Priest. In this blog, we shine the light on the role of the Abrahamic covenant in our transformation process. How can we turn into people…
Introduction In my blog last week, we discussed the Levitical priesthood and the fact that this was the old covenant that Jesus came to replace. The Abrahamic covenant and the Book of the Covenant (our salvation covenants) are still very much alive! We are saved if we keep them. What did the new covenant come…
Introduction In my first blog on this topic, I made the case that Jesus came to replace the Levitical priesthood. In this blog, we are going to explore further. Why had the priesthood had to be replaced? Were there any prophecies about it? In the end, we’ll look at Jesus’s new covenant. How did it…
Introduction The attentive reader will know that I’ve been blogging over the last few weeks about the covenant that Jesus came to fulfill.

Introduction Knowing God Today, we interrupt our series on the salvation covenants with a blog on knowledge. Knowledge is essential if we want to live in covenant with God. The problem with knowledge I heard someone recently say that the problem with knowledge is the distance between the heart and the head. This might be…
Introduction Nothing has changed We concluded last time by saying that Christianity is still the original faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It came to the full circle in the sacrifice of Jesus. The Tanakh and Brit Hadashah is one united message for the “commonwealth of Israel”: Salvation comes for those who have absolute faith…
Introduction The two covenants in tandem In our first blog and second blog on this topic, we concluded that real faith is the key that unlocks the “Book of the Covenant” for us. Jesus came to fulfill its criteria because we are unable to. We are covered and saved by the blood of Jesus. The…
Introduction These blogs are a series on the salvation covenant found in the Tanakh (Old Testament of the Bible) that Jesus came to fulfill. What does it mean, and what exactly did Jesus do for us? What was God’s plan? This is what we aim to address. To read my first blog in this series…
