Today, we will explore the blood covenant and what it means to believers in the new testament.

 

How did things change between the old and new testaments? One of the biggest changes between the old and new covenants is how sin was handled. In the old covenant, God established the priesthood to provide a way for the Israelites to cover or atone for sin-the breaking of the law. The high priest … the blood of Jesus did not just cover over our sins; it eradicated our sins. Jesus shed his blood for man as an everlasting offering in the new covenant so that we could go boldly to the throne of grace and find mercy and grace to help anytime we need it (Hebrews 4:16). He finished the establishment of the New Covenant by shedding his blood on calvary.
