Hebrews 9:1-10

Hebrews 8:12 (NASB95)

“For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And I will remember their sins no more.”

Promise Number 3:

Sins Will Be Forgiven and Forgotten

Instead of Neglecting His People in Their Iniquities…

He Will Show Mercy to Us

Instead of Remembering the Sins of His People and Bringing Judgement Upon Them…

He Will Not Remember Our Sins Anymore…

Meaning, in His Grace He has Chosen to Forgive Our Sinful Debt

We are No Longer Held Accountable for Our Sin

Hebrews 8:13 (NASB95)

When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.

After Quoting Jeremiah, the Author Concludes that…

Because God Promised a New Covenant…

The Old is Just That, Old

It is Obsolete and Ready to Vanish Away

The New and Better Covenant is Here to Replace the Old

And it is Here to Stay

It is Better Because of its Better Promises:

All of God’s People Have God’s Law Written on Their Hearts

All of God’s People Intimately Know Him

All of God’s People Have Their Sins Forgiven and Forgotten

James 1 has Been All About Staying Faithful During Trials and Temptations

Now James is Going to Tell Us What God is to Blame for

James 1:16–18 (NAS)

Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures.

Every Bad Thing that Comes Our Way is Not From God

But Every Good Thing that Comes Our Way is

Father of Lights Refers to God Being the Creator of the Lights in the Heavens
