Day 2: The New Covenant

Devotional:
In Hebrews 8, we are introduced to the New Covenant, a transformative truth that reveals how God relates to humanity through Jesus Christ. This covenant, enacted on better promises, replaces the Old Covenant and ushers in a new reality. God declares, "I will be their God, and they shall be my people" (Hebrews 8:10). This is no longer about a national identity but a personal relationship with God through faith in Christ.

The New Covenant offers freedom, forgiveness, and the indwelling presence of God. He promises to write His laws on our hearts and minds, transforming us from within. This covenant isn’t about rituals or religion—it’s about relationship with God. The reward of heaven isn’t just a place; it’s a relationship with the living God.

Hebrews 12:1-3 challenges us to respond to this truth by fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. Jesus endured the cross for the joy set before Him, and now He sits at the right hand of God’s throne. In light of His sacrifice and supremacy, we are called to run our race with perseverance, continually looking to Him as our source of strength and hope.

The New Covenant reveals that God relates to us as a loving Father, inviting us to live in freedom and joy. It stirs a desire within us to live for His pleasure and to reflect His glory in our daily lives.

Next Step:
Set aside time today to "fix your eyes on Jesus." Start your day by meditating on Hebrews 12:1-3. As a practical act of response, write down three ways you can make Jesus the center of your focus—whether it’s through prayer, worship, or affirming your identity in Him.
