Hebrews – A Call to Commitment: “ Better Covenant/Better Promises” Hebrews 8:6-13
- Our main Idea is found in V-6
- The old covenant was not intended to last; it was flawed in the fact that the law was intended to serve as our babysitter, until the coming of Christ. Gal 3:23-24
- Doubts come when we have no root: Mt.13:20-21
- The prophetic oracle in which God promised to establish a new covenant with his people Jer. 31:31-34 is quoted in full in verses 8-12; this is the longest quotation from the OT to be found in the NT.

- Biblical worldview: we see it God’s way.
3. Intimate Fellowship with God
4. Instant Forgiveness of Sins
