Hebrews 8-9 continues the description of Christ’s work and the redemption we have through him. God has made a covenant with us, saying “I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people”.
This new covenant is based on the work of Christ, who “appeared as a high priest… entered once for all into the holy places…by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.” Through the blood of Christ, our conscience can be purified from dead works to serve the living God.Christ now sits on the right hand of God, able “to appear in the presence of God on our behalf”.
This is such an incredible offer we’ve been given, and it came at such a high price. The amount of love shown by both God and Christ we can scarcely comprehend. Let us be motivated by that love to change our lives, to grow in our spirituality, and to make God a reality in our life.
