1. God forgives ALL our sins (Matthew 26:28, Acts 13:38) and remembers them no more (Hebrews 8:12, 10:17). Our sins are not just “covered” by the blood of bulls and goats nor the blood of Jesus; they are carried and done away, deleted, removed with by the Lamb of God (John 1:29). In terms of justification, it is just as if we never committed those sins.

2. God promises to never be angry with us again (Isaiah 54:8-9) Unlike the obsolete covenant of Law, the New Covenant is an everlasting covenant of Love and Peace (Isaiah 54:10, 55:3). God will never stop being good to you! (Jeremiah 32:40) Let that sink in...

3. God qualifies us (Colossians 1:12). It is no longer about what we DO (Law covenant) or who we are related to (Covenant with Abraham). In the new, it’s all about JESUS and what He has DONE for us.

4. God promises to be with us (Ezekiel 37:27), takes a hold of us and never lets go (Philippians 3:12, Jude 24). In the old, God’s presence came and went, but in the new He has promised to never leave nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5) Your security is not based on what you do but on what He has done and is now doing in you. So now you can be confident that He who began a good work in you will complete it (Philippians 1:6). Nothing can separate you from His love (Romans 8:39).

5. God blesses us with Christ’s perfect righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21). Righteousness is not something to earn, rather something to receive, and in Him we already have it! Romans 5:17)

6. God gives us the Holy Spirit to teach us all things and guide us to all truth (John 14:26, 16:13). We no longer need priests to mediate for us, for we can all know the Lord (Jeremiah 31:34). What Peter said is true, we are His royal priests (1 Peter 2:9).

7. God is for us and not against us (Romans 8:31). God justifies us and there is now no more condemnation (Romans 8:1). When we sin, Jesus doesn’t judge us, he defends us and empowers us to go and sin no more (1 John 2:1, Titus 2:12). He abundantly supplies all our needs so that we might enjoy life to the full (John 10:10, Philippians 4:19).

8. God empowers us to overcome the enemy (1 John 5:4). We have his delegated authority over demons and disease (Mark 16:17). Living under His divine protection and grace we are destined to reign in life (Romans 5:17).

9. God offers us His rest (Hebrews 4:10-11). Under the Old Covenant it was do, do, do, but under the New Covenant it’s done, done ,done.

10. God gives us eternal life (Romans 6:23). Because Christ lives, we can truly live! He din’t give us a “better” life, He gave us His very own life! We don't have an upgraded version of our past life, we have the life of Christ.
