Kenneth Copeland — Our Redemption Part 2Posted by admin on March 31st, 2010
Jesus fulfilled the terms of the old
covenant and brought a new covenant
into being—a better covenant based on
better promises. He died and paid the
price to finish that old Abrahamic Covenant.
He satisfied it completely and
was resurrected from the dead a new
man—a new covenant man untouchable
by sin, untouchable by death.
Now He is seated at the right hand of
God to carry out this new covenant.
The new covenant is between
Almighty God and Jesus Christ,
an immortal man incapable of failure.
God will not fail, Jesus will not
fail. Therefore, the covenant between
them will not fail! Jesus was capable of
failure when He walked the shores of
Galilee. He had to stand the test Adam
failed, and He stood it without failure.
As the Son of God, Jesus accepted
the penalty of death for sin. He was
taken illegally by Satan into the bowels
of the earth. But God proclaimed, “It is
enough!” and Jesus came forth out of
hell triumphant in the power of God!
The courts of eternal justice were satisfied.
Sin was completely remitted—
wiped away. God took man’s place and
suffered the penalty for breaking the
covenant. Man once again has legal
right to enter the Father’s presence in
the holy of holies (Hebrews 4:14-16).
The cut of the old covenant was
the shedding of man’s blood through
circumcision. The cut of the new
covenant was the shedding of God’s
blood on the cross by Jesus, the Lamb
of God—the sacrificial lamb that took
away the sins of the world (John 1:29).
There is no curse under the new covenant
because Jesus became the curse
for us! Praise God!
