The Promise of a New Covenant

Bob Hoekstra

Long ago, God promised a new covenant of grace for His people Israel. I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel. Some day, the Israelites will turn to Messiah as a group and enter into this promised covenant of grace.

The Promise of a New Covenant, Devotional by Bob Hoekstra

“Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel . . . I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people . . . they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” says the LORD. “For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” —Jeremiah 31:31, 33-34

Long ago, God promised a new covenant of grace for His people Israel. “I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel.” Some day, the Israelites will turn to Messiah as a group and enter into this promised covenant of grace.

“And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: ‘The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; For this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins’” (Romans 11:26-27).

This will take place when the Lord Jesus returns to this earth. “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they have pierced; they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn” (Zechariah 12:10).


Meanwhile, the church of the Lord Jesus, comprised of all Jewish and Gentile believers in Christ, already has the new covenant instituted for her. “This cup is the new covenant in My blood” (Luke 22:20).

Note the astounding three-fold provisions this new covenant offers by faith to all believers today.

First, there is the forgiveness of sins. “For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”

Second, there is the opportunity to have an intimate relationship with God. “They all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.”

Third, there is the internal working of the Lord God Almighty enabling and changing people’s lives from the inner core of their being. “I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts.”


Almighty God, the provisions of Your new covenant of grace are staggering in their richness! Forgiveness of sins by You, intimacy with

You, and inner transformation from You — all of this is mine through faith in Your Son, my Savior. O Lord, what bountiful grace You make available to us in Christ! I fully and desperately need all three of these wondrous workings that You alone can provide.

I praise You for the gift of forgiveness of sins. I seek You for increased intimacy with You. I look to You to be shaping my life according to Your will, from the inside out, all through the grace of my Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

Day by Day by Grace

Bob Hoekstra
365 Daily Devotions Day by Daay by Graceby Bob Hoekstra speak of grace, of knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Romans 6:14 tells us how God has arranged for people to get out from under the domination of sin to establish a relationship with Him and to develop a life of fellowship and service with Him.
Nothing is too small for you to bring to Him in prayer. He has the answer you seek to every question.

A Refuge and Rock

Charles Stanley
King David often used words such as refuge and rock to explain his relationship with God. For him, God was a refuge—a place where he could go anytime to find encouragement and understanding.
The principle is this: David allowed God to promote him in His way and in His time.

God will Exalt you in due Season

Charles Stanley
David knew that the Lordhad established him as king over Israel, and that He had exalted His kingdom for the sake of His people Israel. Have you ever been passed over at work for a promotion that you felt you deserved?
Jesus Christ holds the greatest amount of acceptance you could ever hope to find

Loving Acceptance

Charles Stanley
You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
Even when we sin, God does not stop loving us. He created us out of His love.

No Need to Fear

Charles Stanley
There was no reason for Daniel to be afraid. He had obeyed God perfectly. When we obey God, we do not have to worry about what will happen tomorrow. God has taken care of all of our tomorrows. However, if we are living outside of His will in sin, then we can expect to face some really difficult times.
God wants this to be the best time of your life. But if you are going to receive this favor, you must enlarge your vision.

It’s Time To Enlarge Your Vision

Joel Osteen
Early in our marriage, Victoria and I walked through a beautiful, partially constructed home in our neighborhood. After viewing the house, Victoria said, “Joel, one day we’re going to live in a home just like that!” Visions of our bank account and my income at the time filled my mind.
