Understanding the Subject of the CovenantExemplo

OPERATING IN THE COVENANT

Before Jesus came to the world, the people on earth were divided into two groups: Jews and Gentiles. If you are not in a covenant with Jehovah, you are not a Jew; you are a Gentile. But when Jesus came, He put the third group on the earth. Therefore, as far as heaven is concerned, God groups everybody into three nations on the earth:

1. Gentiles: The Gentiles are those who have a “NO” covenant relationship with God.

2. Jews: The Jews are descendants of Abraham. By birth, they inherited the covenant of God with Abraham. To date, the covenant of God with the Jews is unarguable. They are the most dominant race in the world. They thrive anywhere they exist, even in deserts. No hostility of hell or humans has been able to wipe them off despite so much hatred by the devil against them in every generation.

3. Church: The Church is walking in the New Testament covenant with God, which was purchased by the blood of Jesus. Through Jesus, the born-again man has the covenant of sonship with God by which he is authorized to call God ‘Abba Father.’

Irrespective of your race or gender, it doesn’t make any difference. The way God looks at human beings is this: does He have a covenant with Me? God doesn’t rate you on your colour so don’t let anyone rate you on your colour.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive a heart for a deeper understanding of the covenant as I study through this devotional in Jesus’ name. Amen.
