Hebrews – A Call to Commitment: “The Better Covenant” Hebrews 7:20-28

• The New Covenant: Jeremiah 31:31
• The Main Idea is found in Hebrews 7:22

Four benefits of the Better Covenant:

1. God’s Reliable Oath (five times in 9 verses)

• The Old Priesthood was based on a command: Exodus 28:1
• The oath is about God’s word.
• God’s word is powerful and reliable.
• He spoke the world into existence in Genesis 1:3
• God’s Word gets results: Isaiah 55:10-11
• God does not change His mind: Numbers 23:19

2. The Guarantor (Jesus)

3. The Permanent Priesthood

The benefits of the permanent priest:

1) Complete Salvation

• His saving power is complete: Romans 10:9
• The old covenant brought doubt; the new brings assurance: 1 John 5:13

2) Ongoing Intercession—Isaiah 53:12

• His prayer: John 17:20-21

The Character of Christ is stated in five terms:

1) Holy (It is the opposite of polluted); he never deviates from in the least from God’s
ordinances and commandments.

2) Blameless or Devout: Loyal to covenant obligations.

3) Pure or innocent; He was not touched by evil.

4) Set Apart: Undefiled by the worlds standard.

5) Exalted: He shares the throne with God.

4. The Perfect Sacrifice
