عبرانیان 5:8-9

Do you believe that your blessings from God are a reflection of your obedience? This is Old Covenant Living. New Covenant Christianity is about the Holy Spirit guiding and directing us into the life He has for us. In this 5-day reading plan, Pete Briscoe explains New Covenant living and how we can experience God’s promises, the Holy Spirit, and God’s grace while living a life blessed by Him. 

Christians are different. They can’t help it. When you’re in Christ and filled with the Spirit, it changes you. This leads to weird ideas and alternate beliefs about reality. This series of 5-day plans uses classic Christian Creeds as a vehicle to explain the Christian worldview compared to the world’s and help us see reality through Jesus’s eyes.

God’s people face a daily choice between obedience and obstinance. It marked Israel’s history. It marks ours too. Acts 7 is a face-off between obedience and obstinance as Jesus’s Kingdom continues to grow. This 5-day Plan continues a journey through the Book of Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of His followers as He expands His Kingdom to the ends of the Earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

We read in God’s Word that without the shedding of blood, there can be no forgiveness. And obedience is better than sacrifice. The manifestation of these words play out when Jesus’ obedience led to the shedding of His blood and the ultimate sacrifice is made – for us! This is Plan Five of Nine of the book of Hebrews where we see that although salvation is free for us, there was a great cost that Jesus paid.
