Turn with me to *Hebrews 8:6*.
We’re going to *begin* our *teaching** **on* the subject of the *BLOOD COVENANT*.
*Some* may be *thinking* *“**WHAT DOES THE BLOOD COVENANT HAVE TO DO WITH THE BIBLE** **AND OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST;”* Well, really *everything*.
*I) *In this *V* that we just read *(HEB 8:6)* *Who* is *Paul referring to?* *Who is* the *Mediator of* this *better covenant?*
*A) **Of course*, the answer is *Jesus*.
*Jesus is the mediator* *of* this *better covenant*, *which* has been *established* *upon better promises*.
*B) **In the Bible* we have *2 major covenants*.
The *Old* Covenant *and* the *New* Covenant *or* *as the Bible puts it* the *Old Testament* *and* the *New Testament*.
(*Same thing*)
*1) **Before we can go on discussing the Covenant*, specifically the Blood Covenant; *we need to know what a covenant is*.
*a) **A covenant is an agreement** **or** a **contract* *between 2 people** **or** **2 groups** of people*.
A covenant is a contract *between 2 parties*.
*b) **In the Blood Covenant*, which we’re *dealing with*, *is a contract** **in which all debts*, *liabilities*, *and* *assets** **are shared by both parties* or groups.
*(i) **This type of covenant does not end*.
In other words, it’s *forever*.
*(ii) **For instance*, *if you and I entered into a covenant* together.
*All of my debts** **and** **all of my assets* *that I ever would have*, *would be equally shared by you* *and** **everything* that *you would ever have*, *debts or assets*, *would be equally shared by me*.
*2) **God has entered into a covenant relationship with mankind*.
*a) **All* that *God owes* *and* *all that God owns** **is ours*, and *all that we owe** **and** **all that we own* *is His*.
*b) **(1COR 6:20)* *Says* that *we are bought with a price*, *and that price* *was the shed Blood of Jesus*.
*C) *The *Hebrew word for* *“COVENANT”* is *“BERITH”* (ber-eeth) and it *means*, *“TO CUT IN REFERENCE TO THE FLESH.”*
That could be the *flesh of man** **or** **animal*.
*1) **It also means** **TO CUT UNTIL BLOOD FLOWS*.
*2) **God has made a contract*, a *covenant*, *with man*, *which is sealed with Blood*, *settled** **with the Blood of Jesus* — His Blood flowed on our behalf.
(Which is the New Covenant)
*D) **We also have* the *Old Covenant*, which *began* in the *Garden of Eden*.
*1) **When Adam sinned*, *God slew an animal*.
He *took the skin* of that animal and *made* some *clothes* for Adam and Eve.
*a) **This is really* the *1st** **sign of the Blood Covenant*.
*(i) **God had to sacrifice the animal*.
To *cut where blood flows*.
*2) **God had to enter into a covenant with Adam*, for the *reason* that *the wages for sin is death*.
*(ROM 6:23)*
*(i) **If Adam* *had to pay for his own debt*, *he would have been put to death.*
*(ii) **God entered into this covenant with him** **so that God could pay the debt**.*
*(iii) **Now* the *blood* of the *animal* *did not wash away* *the* *sin*, *as* the *blood of Jesus does*, *it* just *hid* Adam’s *sin** **from God’s view*.
*E) **Cain and Able* also *practiced* the *covenant*.
*1) **They brought covenant sacrifices to the Lord*.
*a) **Able sacrificed animals* to the Lord and *Cain* *sacrificed* the *fruit* of the land.
*(i) **God had to have blood sacrifices*, and *Cain knew that*, *that’s why Abel’s sacrifice was accepted*, and *Cain’s rejected*.
*2) **Sometimes people think* that *it was unfair of God* *to except Abel’s offering* *and reject Cain’s*.
*a) *So let’s take a *look* at it *Genesis 4:1-4*.
*(i) *The word *“RESPECT”* in verse for *literally means*, *“TO LOOK UPON WOULD FAVOR.”*
*b) **God was pleased with Abel’s offering*.
*(i) **For that to be true*, *Abel had to offer his sacrifice by faith*.
*(ii) **(Hebrews 11:6)* says*, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him.”*
*(iii) **So* *in order for Abel’s offering to please God* *it had to be done in faith*.
*c) **And faith can only operate where the Will of God is known*.
*3) **Cain also had God’s Word* *on the sacrifice*, *but he refused offer up* *an animal sacrifice* *and* *God was NOT pleased*.
*a) **But* *Cain knew what God said*.
Look at *Genesis 4:5-7a*.
*(i) *The words *“DOEST WELL”* literally *means*, *“DO WHAT IS PLEASING.”*
*(ii) **God had to show him what his will was* *and even* *gave him a second chance*, *but Cain refused*.
*II) *The *Blood Covenant* is a *very sacred* Covenant.
*It is the most sacred Covenant* that *mankind* *has ever known*.
*A) **Dr.
Livingston* and *Mr.
Stanley* were *missionaries** **in Africa* for *many years*.
*1) **In all that time* that they were there *they never heard of a blood covenant being broken* between 2 men.
*a) **Blood covenants* were *very common** **in Africa*.
*b) **Mr.
Stanley** **entered into covenants* *with at least 50* different *African tribes*.
*(i) **He had to cut himself 50 times* *until blood flowed*.
*(ii) *These *scars* were *purposely** **kept visible*.
*(iii) **Every time* *someone** **wanted to kill Mr. Stanley*, *he would show him his scars*.
*2) *You see, *when you enter into a covenant with someone*, *not only* *does their possessions belong to you* *but it also meant* that *they would* even *fight to the death for you* *if necessary*.
*a) **I’m so glad* that *we have a covenant with God*.
(*God had to do what ever took* *to pay for our salvation*.)
*b) *Look at *2CHRON 20:15, 17*.
*c) **David said* in *(1SAM 17:47)* *“For the battle is the Lord’s.”*
*B) *Now *there are* *3 main reasons* *for entering into a covenant*.
*1) *The *1st* is *PROTECTION*.
*In Africa*, *if a weaker tribe* *was afraid of being overcome* by an enemy, *they would enter into a covenant with a stronger tribe*.
*a) *The *weaker tribe* would then *gain* the *strength* *of* the *stronger* tribe.
*b) **If an enemy wanted to fight* the *weaker tribe*, *they would now have to fight both tribes*.
(The weaker and the stronger)
*2) *The *2nd* *reason* that people would enter into a covenant is for *BUSINESS PURPOSES.*
*a) **That would ensure both parties** **that neither would take advantage of the other*.
*3) *The *3rd* *reason* for *entering* into *a covenant* is *LOVE*.
*a) **If 2 people had such love for each other as Jonathan and David *had *they would enter into a covenant*.
*(i) **Jonathan and David** **loved each other as friends*, *and* *they did enter into a covenant*.
*b) **In the O. T*., *love* was the *main reason** **for cutting a covenant*.
*4) **“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son.”*
*a) **When you understand the covenant*, *you understand how David could say the things he did** **when he slew Goliath*.
*(i) *Look at *1SAM 17:45–47*.
*(ii) **How could David have such assurance* that *God would do this?*
*(iii) **Because he understood the covenant* that *Israel had with God*.
*(iv) *Go back to *v 26*.
*(v) **UNCIRCUMCISED MEANS** **he did not have a COVENANT with God* and *he had no right to challenge the armies of God*.
*C) **We have this kind of Covenant with God*.
*1) **He will go into battle for us** **and** **with us*, *because He said* that *He would never leave us nor forsake us*, *that He would be with us to the ends of the Earth*.
*a) **CIRCUMCISION was a** **SIGN that Israel entered into a** **COVENANT with God*.
*(i) **Our circumcision** **is also a sign that we have entered into a covenant with God**.
**But our circumcision** **is not one of the flesh*.
*(ii) **ROM 2:28–29*.
*(a) **We are in a covenant with God** **and God will do battle for us** **and** **with us** **in every area of our lives*.
