God released us from the Law of Moses when Christ died on the cross. Take a look at scripture and look up “new’ in your Concordance. You will find that in the case of the New and Old Testament, Christ fulfilled the old contract. Almost like an athlete on the last year of a supposedly current contract, they say that athlete is playing for a new one to be signed at the end of the season. In sports there’s a thing called a free agent, a player without a team. As Christians this is not where you want to find yourself. And as long as your view is based on what was and not what is, you really aren’t on the team.
“For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance-now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. This is why event the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.” Hebrews 9:15-17.
I’m in the will. I have an inheritance and I’m claiming all that is rightfully mine and so should you. But if you are ignorant to the tenets of the will, you will go through your life not knowing your sins have been forgiven and as I like to point out, the war is over. We won. There are yet battles we each must fight but really, let the guilt go. Recognize what you have inherited and live in that awareness each and every day.
You and I were cleansed before we were even born. Now if you believe this then good for you. If you don’t then you must doubt something about the New Covenant. The problem with this is you will be forever destined to starve spiritually believing you’ve got something to prove or forever trying to live up to a salvation that is yours without ever asking.
