The people would be a holy kingdom of priests; a treasured possession
This standing was conditional on their obedience (we will do all…)
New Covenant Faith
Read Romans 5:1-8
This NC no less rests on God’s choice; He chose to rescue and assemble sinners from all of the earth
This NC begins in our unworthiness (while we were sinners)
The means through which we enter into the NC is faith
We stand in grace, not in obedience
This standing gives meaning to our sufferings
New Covenant Works
Read Matthew 9:35-38
We are to labour in the harvest of souls
The picture of harvest indicates that God has already planted
As we renew our vows in this NC, let us pray that we ourselves would be about the work of God’s harvest, and that our crew would be added to by God’s calling
