“Reconciliation with a New Promise”
(Jeremiah 31:31 -34)

Introduction:

In life many people, groups, organizations make pacts with each other. When a person marries, a pact is formed or established between the two, man and woman. Most of the pacts are not fulfilled due to the group, individual or organizations not able to fully commit to living out the pact requirements. According to Civitas EU Facts, seventeen EU members who used the Euro funds to support their economy agreed to keep the amount of funds spending and borrow in control to assist with economic stability and growth of their respective country. The agreement was called the Euro Stability and Growth Pact. Many Eurozone members were not able to keep the rules. As a result in 2005, the rules were changed to allow flexibility among the countries and later 2011 the Pact was reformed to tighten the rules.

God provides for us a pact, a legal agreement. That pact is known as a covenant, and it is based on conditions or rules that individuals must live by to have stability, growth and success. In times past, the covenants made by God had to be revamped due to the failures of those who were not able to live it out. In the Old Testament, there are five covenants: The Nohaic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, and the last covenant, which is the promise of Jesus Christ.

Theme: Renewing an Everlasting Covenant
Background: Jeremiah was called by God to be a prophet. (c.f Jeremiah 1:5) Jeremiah spoke God’s word to the people as given by God; however, the people never followed God’s word of instructions. Judah was failing

    The Old Testament ending leaves the reader very unsatisfied as the resolution to much of the issues, suffering and discomfort of God’s people was not resolved. It is not until the death of Christ in the New Testament that the reader can understand the significance of God’s sovereignty in these times of seemingly unfulfilled promises. Most of the Old Testament covenants that remained unfulfilled or only partially fulfilled were those in regards to David. In the book of Jeremiah it is written: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely.” (23:5-6). David is promised that from his line a king will reign over all people. David is also promised that the Messiah would come from his line so it is understandable why the Jews living around Jesus were so shocked to discover that he would not be overthrowing…

    Firstly, all biblical covenants were promulgated by the divine Suzerain on behalf of His vassal-people. The authority of the covenants resides in Him and Him alone—He is Lord. Secondly, the covenants appear to have been promulgated at times of crisis or change when God’s people were upon the threshold of the unknown” (Barrick., 1999). The Pentateuch contains revelations, and foundations which God set forth through chosen prophets to communicate with the people. In these books we can see how God set up the structure of a theocratic society which the Latter Prophets and Minor Prophets follow up with correction and the promise of redemption from…

    On April 16th, 1963, Martin Luther King Junior wrote one of the most memorable letters in the history of Civil Rights movement. He did so while being imprisoned in Alabama. On the fourth day of his incarceration, he produced the most beautiful prose I have ever read, in order to deliver a convincing and righteous message. Four days before the letter was written, King, and many other civil rights protestors, were arrested for failing to obtain a permit for a parade. They were arrested while participating in a peaceful demonstration referred to as the “Birmingham Campaign.” In his letter, King states that he was compelled to “bring the gospel of freedom” wherever injustice exists. The campaign was mainly designed to bring attention to the awful treatment blacks were experiencing within the city of Birmingham, Alabama. This was Martin Luther King’s thirteenth arrest and probably most “important” one, as well.…

    Learning Objectives: Students should be able to ... • Define evolution, fitness, and adaptation using the biological definitions. • Describe the nature of the evidence regarding (1) whether species change through time and (2) whether they are related by common ancestry. • Assess whether Darwin's four postulates are true in any given example, explain to a friend why evolution must occur if all four are true, and explain whether evolution will occur if any of the four are not true. • Identify common misconceptions about evolution, and give examples to illustrate why they are not true. (For example: Is evolution progressive? Do animals do things "for the good of the species"? Does evolution result in perfection?) Lecture Outline • Evolution is one of the best-supported and most important theories in the history of science. • Evolution is one of the five attributes of life. • Evolution has both a pattern and a process. I. The Evolution of Evolutionary Thought A. Plato and typological thinking 1. Plato saw species as unchanging, perfect "types" created by God. 2. Plato thought individual variation was an unimportant deviation from the true "type." B. Aristotle and the great chain of being (scale of nature) 1. Aristotle, like Plato, thought species were unchanging types. 2. Aristotle thought species could be organized into a sequence or ladder of increasing complexity, with humans at the top. (Fig. 24.1) C. Lamarck and the idea of evolution as change through time 1. Lamarck noticed that organisms changed over time. 2. Lamarck thought animals progressed over time from "lower" to "higher" forms (like Aristotle's ladder) via inheritance of acquired characteristics. D. Darwin and Wallace and evolution by natural selection 1. Species change over time, but they do not "progress." 2. A species does not have a single true "type." 3. Individual variation is important; variation is what drives…

    We can look at this in Jeremiah 31:8. Here we see that this covenant is different in three ways. The first way is internal, which is where God wrote his law on the hearts of believers, the second emphasizes personal knowledge of God, and finally, the third offers complete forgiveness through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Hebrew 10:1-4;9:25-28). This is where the death of Jesus becomes involved. We see an example of this in Romans 10:13, which states”, whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.” Jesus is our Light, our Redeemer, and our Sanctifier.…

    “A covenant is an unchangeable, divinely imposed legal agreement between God and man that stipulates the conditions of their relationship” CITATION Gru00 \p 515 \l 1033 (Grudem, 2000, p. 515). The essence of the Old Testament Covenants between God and Abraham, and subsequently with the Israelites were designed to spiritually inspire the people to reciprocity: God’s promises of His eternal presence, love, and blessings in exchange for their personal and corporate dedication to living life in a way that would emote joy from God at the maturing spiritual condition of His creation: A people developing discipline toward becoming centered on the divine will of God. This paper will examine a number of the various aspects of God’s nature and how they are specifically revealed through covenant promises and conditions as tools to communicate with the Israelites, as well as through plans for the coming Messiah.…

    Davidic Covenant

    The Davidic Covenant refers to God’s promises to David through Nathan the prophet and is found in2 Samuel 7 and later summarized in 1 Chronicles 17:11–14 and 2 Chronicles 6:16. This is an unconditional covenant made between God and David through which God promises David and Israel that the Messiah (Jesus Christ) would come from the lineage of David and the tribe of Judah and would establish a kingdom that would endure forever. The Davidic Covenant is unconditional because God does not place any conditions of obedience upon its fulfillment. The surety of the promises made rests solely on God’s faithfulness and does not depend at all on David or Israel’s…
