The One Bible Chapter That Destroys Everything Your Pastor Taught You · truthunedited

0:00
Speaker 1: So many religions are still stuck in the Law of Moses,
0:03
Speaker 1: and maybe, just maybe you are too. Let me ask
0:07
Speaker 1: you something bold. If Jesus is the fulfillment, why do
0:11
Speaker 1: so many still worship the preview? You talk about grace,
0:14
Speaker 1: you sing about the cross, But deep inside are you
0:18
Speaker 1: still trying to be good enough to earn what Jesus
0:20
Speaker 1: already bled for Hebrews eight isn't soft, It doesn't make suggestions.
0:26
Speaker 1: It draws a line in eternal stone. Jesus is the
0:29
Speaker 1: high Priest, the final mediator, the superior Covenant, and everything
0:34
Speaker 1: before him was a shadow, not evil but incomplete, not
0:38
Speaker 1: false but fading. And here's the haunting truth. Many believers
0:42
Speaker 1: are still bowing to a temple God abandoned. They perform
0:46
Speaker 1: for approval, They strive for love, They keep rules, fearing rejection,
0:52
Speaker 1: while Heaven's screams it is finished. Have you thought about that?
0:56
Speaker 1: In this video, we're not just explaining Hebrews eight, We're
1:00
Speaker 1: unleashing it. The veil is about to tear, Your religious
1:04
Speaker 1: fees are about to be confronted, and your confused, lost,
1:08
Speaker 1: strangled soul is about to meet the liberty of the
1:11
Speaker 1: New Covenant like never before. So before we begin pause,
1:17
Speaker 1: hit the like button. Share this with someone who's drowning
1:20
Speaker 1: in religion but dying for truth. Subscribe so you never
1:24
Speaker 1: settle for shallow again, because to day the shadows end
1:29
Speaker 1: and the substance steps in. Do you remember the first
1:33
Speaker 1: time someone let you down after promising they'd never leave.
1:38
Speaker 1: Do you remember the moment when something you depended on collapsed? Now,
1:43
Speaker 1: imagine what if God built something that wasn't meant to last.
1:47
Speaker 1: That's not a trick question, it's Hebrews eight. Let this
1:50
Speaker 1: shock you for a second. God himself found fault with
1:53
Speaker 1: the First Covenant. Yes, God, not Satan, not man, not error.
1:58
Speaker 1: God designed the First Covenant knowing it would be insufficient,
2:02
Speaker 1: knowing it would fade, knowing it would only be a shadow.
2:06
Speaker 1: Why because He never wanted your faith to stay there.
2:10
Speaker 1: And that, my friend, is where so many churches, so
2:13
Speaker 1: many traditions, so many entire religions have lost the plot.
2:18
Speaker 1: They are trying to resurrect a system that God intentionally
2:22
Speaker 1: allowed to expire. Are you still trying to live under it?
2:25
Speaker 1: Think carefully? Are you still relating to God through your performance?
2:30
Speaker 1: Are you still more confident when you've had a good
2:32
Speaker 1: week spiritually, are you terrified that one mistake disqualifies you
2:38
Speaker 1: from His presence. If so, it's possible your clinging to
2:42
Speaker 1: a covenant that was never meant to save you. The
2:45
Speaker 1: old covenant, the Law of Moses, was never a mistake.
2:48
Speaker 1: It was holy, it was just. It was even glorious
2:53
Speaker 1: for a time. But it was designed for one purpose,
2:58
Speaker 1: to prepare the world the one who would fulfill it.
3:02
Speaker 1: And Hebrews eight is Heaven's bold declaration. The old is obsolete,
3:07
Speaker 1: the new has come, and Jesus is the mediator of
3:11
Speaker 1: a better covenant founded on better promises. Pause and think
3:16
Speaker 1: on this. If God has replaced the old with the new,
3:19
Speaker 1: why are you still mixing them? He Brews eight seven
3:22
Speaker 1: says it clearly, for if that first covenant had been faultless,
3:26
Speaker 1: there would have been no occasion to look for a second.
3:30
Speaker 1: Let that verse mess with you. God gave the first covenant,
3:33
Speaker 1: and God replaced it. He let it be temporary because
3:36
Speaker 1: it was never the destination. It was the map, not
3:40
Speaker 1: the land, the shadow, not the savior. But still so
3:46
Speaker 1: many won't let go. Maybe you were taught that the
3:48
Speaker 1: law was how you stay righteous. Maybe you were told
3:52
Speaker 1: that following rules keeps you close to God. Maybe you
3:55
Speaker 1: were raised in a system that preached Jesus with their
3:58
Speaker 1: lips but enforced mo with their doctrine. Have you seen
4:02
Speaker 1: that before? Let us know in the comments. Have you
4:05
Speaker 1: experienced a church or teaching that mixed the old and new?
4:09
Speaker 1: Because Hebrews eight won't allow that mixture. It demands clarity,
4:14
Speaker 1: it demands confrontation, the writer says in verse six. But
4:19
Speaker 1: now Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry as the
4:23
Speaker 1: mediator of a better covenant which has been enacted on
4:26
Speaker 1: better promises. That's not poetry, that's a court room statement
4:31
Speaker 1: from heaven. Jesus is not an improvement of Moses. He's
4:35
Speaker 1: the fulfillment Moses brought the law. Jesus brought grace and truth.
4:40
Speaker 1: Moses ministered in a tent made by human hands. Jesus
4:44
Speaker 1: entered the heavenly sanctuary itself. Moses sprinkled blood once a year.
4:49
Speaker 1: Jesus poured his blood once for all eternity. This is
4:53
Speaker 1: not a competition, it's a replacement. And yet how many
4:56
Speaker 1: are still living like Jesus only got us halfway there?
5:01
Speaker 1: Think about it? Do you believe that your standing with
5:04
Speaker 1: God changes based on your latest behavior. Do you feel
5:08
Speaker 1: like He loves you more on your good days? Do
5:11
Speaker 1: you quietly think that if you fail enough, he'll walk away?
5:15
Speaker 1: Those are old Covenant thoughts because under the old the
5:19
Speaker 1: system said obey and live, disobey and die. But under
5:24
Speaker 1: the New the blood says he died so you could live.
5:28
Speaker 1: It's not about earning any more. It's not about trying harder.
5:32
Speaker 1: It's about trusting deeper. And that's why Hebrews eight is
5:35
Speaker 1: so disruptive, because if we truly accept that the old
5:39
Speaker 1: Covenant has been replaced, then all our spiritual pride must die,
5:44
Speaker 1: or our religious showmanship must be buried, all our attempts
5:48
Speaker 1: to deserve God's love must be crucified. That's terrifying and freeing.
5:54
Speaker 1: It means your worst day doesn't undo the covenant. It
5:57
Speaker 1: means your failure didn't surprise God. It means your acceptance
6:01
Speaker 1: isn't based on your grit, but on His grace. So
6:04
Speaker 1: here's the real question. Are you still holding on to
6:07
Speaker 1: a system God let go of? Because Hebrews eight ends
6:11
Speaker 1: with one of the most confrontational statements in the New
6:14
Speaker 1: Testament in speaking of a new Covenant, he makes the
6:18
Speaker 1: first one obsolete, and what is becoming obsolete and growing
6:23
Speaker 1: old is ready to vanish away Hebrews eight thirteen obsolete.
6:30
Speaker 1: Imagine trying to use a phone from the nineties to
6:33
Speaker 1: download a message today. It's incapable. The system isn't wrong,
6:38
Speaker 1: it's just outdated. It was never meant for now. And
6:42
Speaker 1: yet many are still trying to relate to God through
6:44
Speaker 1: an obsolete system. They worship Jesus but live like Moses
6:49
Speaker 1: is still watching. Are you one of them? Let's talk
6:52
Speaker 1: in the comments. What did you grow up believing about
6:55
Speaker 1: the old Covenant? How has Hebrews eight challenged your view?
6:59
Speaker 1: Because this is not just doctrine, its destiny. Until you
7:03
Speaker 1: fully let go of the old, you can't fully walk
7:06
Speaker 1: in the new. And the cross of Jesus doesn't coexist
7:10
Speaker 1: with the system of Moses, it replaced it. So today,
7:14
Speaker 1: let the old expire, let the striving die, let the
7:18
Speaker 1: fear collapse, and let the weight fall off. Because a
7:21
Speaker 1: better covenant is here and his name is Jesus. Let's
7:25
Speaker 1: take a moment and get painfully honest. How many of
7:28
Speaker 1: us still treat church like a place, prayer like a ritual,
7:32
Speaker 1: and God like He's stuck in a box somewhere waiting
7:35
Speaker 1: for incense and lighting cues. It's not your fault. You
7:39
Speaker 1: were taught this, you were shown it. Many of us
7:42
Speaker 1: were handed a version of faith that still smells like
7:46
Speaker 1: the smoke of the Old Testament tabernacle. But Hebrews eight says,
7:50
Speaker 1: what we've been worshiping was only a copy. Let that
7:53
Speaker 1: hit you. A copy, not the real thing, not the
7:57
Speaker 1: final version, just the trailer before the feature, just the
8:00
Speaker 1: shadow before the sun rose. And yet to this day
8:04
Speaker 1: many are still clinging to a tent. When Heaven has
8:07
Speaker 1: thrown open the curtain, let me show you what I mean.
8:11
Speaker 1: Hebrews eight five says of the old priests, they serve
8:15
Speaker 1: a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. For when
8:19
Speaker 1: Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed
8:22
Speaker 1: by God saying, see that you make everything according to
8:26
Speaker 1: the pattern that was shown you on the mountain. Think
8:31
Speaker 1: about that. Moses didn't design the tabernacle out of imagination.
8:36
Speaker 1: He built it based on a pattern, a divine model
8:40
Speaker 1: God showed him. But here's the key. The earthly sanctuary
8:44
Speaker 1: was only a mirror of the real sanctuary in heaven,
8:48
Speaker 1: the Holy of Holies was not the real Holy of Holies.
8:52
Speaker 1: The ark was not the real seat of mercy, The
8:55
Speaker 1: High Priest was not the real mediator. It was all
8:58
Speaker 1: a preview, a prophet drama, a divine stage play pointing
9:03
Speaker 1: to the main character, Jesus. So let me ask you,
9:07
Speaker 1: are you still living in the stage play? Are you
9:10
Speaker 1: still trying to approach God like you need to bring
9:13
Speaker 1: your best robes, your best sacrifice, your best performance to
9:17
Speaker 1: even get near Drop a comment right now? If this
9:21
Speaker 1: just exposed something in you? Were you taught to treat
9:24
Speaker 1: God like he's behind a curtain you can't access, because
9:28
Speaker 1: Hebrews eight is screaming, The curtain is torn, the shadow
9:32
Speaker 1: has passed. The real sanctuary is open, and Jesus is
9:37
Speaker 1: standing in it for you. Jesus didn't enter a man
9:41
Speaker 1: made building. He stepped into the throne room of heaven,
9:45
Speaker 1: carrying his own blood, not the blood of goats and bulls.
9:49
Speaker 1: You want to talk about access, You want to talk
9:51
Speaker 1: about a better covenant. This is it. No more shadows,
9:56
Speaker 1: no more annual rehearsals. The real has arrived. And here's
10:00
Speaker 1: the part most miss, Jesus is not just your savior,
10:04
Speaker 1: He is your High priest, not standing in Jerusalem, but
10:08
Speaker 1: in the courts of Heaven, not wearing linen, but clothed
10:11
Speaker 1: in glory, not offering animals, but having offered himself once
10:16
Speaker 1: for all, which means, right now, this very second, there
10:20
Speaker 1: is a man in heaven who bears your name on
10:23
Speaker 1: his heart, who knows your weakness, who understands your pain,
10:26
Speaker 1: and who forever represents you before the Father. How would
10:30
Speaker 1: your life change if you actually believed that? How would
10:34
Speaker 1: your prayer life change if you knew that when you
10:36
Speaker 1: whispered in weakness, your words were carried into the chambers
10:39
Speaker 1: of eternity by the one who bled for you. This
10:42
Speaker 1: isn't poetry, this is your reality. So why are so
10:46
Speaker 1: many still building tents? Why are so many still trying
10:49
Speaker 1: to manufacture atmospheres and imitate rituals that were only meant
10:54
Speaker 1: to point to Jesus? Why are so many churches still
10:57
Speaker 1: dripping in old Covenant language, old Covenant fear, old Covenant limitations.
11:04
Speaker 1: Have you noticed this before drop it in the comments?
11:08
Speaker 1: What did your church background teach you about approaching God?
11:13
Speaker 1: Did it feel free or fear based? Hebrews eight dares
11:17
Speaker 1: you to walk into something better, to let go of
11:20
Speaker 1: the system. To stop thinking you need a priest when
11:24
Speaker 1: you already have the Great High priest, To stop chasing
11:27
Speaker 1: altars made of wood when the real altar is soaked
11:30
Speaker 1: in blood and seated in glory. We don't need golden candlesticks.
11:35
Speaker 1: We have the light of the world. We don't need incense.
11:39
Speaker 1: We have prayers ascending by the spirit. We don't need veils.
11:43
Speaker 1: We have a pierced body that made the way once
11:45
Speaker 1: and for all. You don't live in Moses's wilderness any more.
11:49
Speaker 1: You live in jesus resurrection. So let me ask you again,
11:53
Speaker 1: are you still camping in the shadow or have you
11:55
Speaker 1: stepped into the substance? Because the old priests he served
12:00
Speaker 1: in a sanctuary that was already obsolete, and many are
12:03
Speaker 1: still trying to drag you back into it. But you
12:06
Speaker 1: weren't made to worship copies. You were made to commune
12:10
Speaker 1: with the Christ. And Hebrews eight is begging you. Don't
12:14
Speaker 1: live like the curtain is still up. Don't pray like
12:17
Speaker 1: the blood hasn't been shed, don't bow like God is
12:20
Speaker 1: still behind layers of ritual and rules. Jesus tore it
12:24
Speaker 1: all down. He stepped past the copies into the real
12:28
Speaker 1: and he brought your name with him. Let me ask
12:31
Speaker 1: you something deeply uncomfortable. When you pray, where do you
12:35
Speaker 1: think your words go? Do they float in the air,
12:37
Speaker 1: do they bounce off ceilings? Do they evaporate into hope?
12:41
Speaker 1: Or do they enter a court room where someone is
12:44
Speaker 1: already standing inter seeding for you, pleading your case, representing
12:49
Speaker 1: you with nail pierced hands. Because that's what Hebrews eight
12:52
Speaker 1: dares you to believe. Jesus isn't just the lamb who
12:56
Speaker 1: died on the cross. He is the high priest who
12:59
Speaker 1: rose into Heaven in itself, entered the real sanctuary, not
13:02
Speaker 1: a symbolic one, and stood before the Father as your
13:06
Speaker 1: eternal representative. Read this slowly, let it burn through your religion.
13:13
Speaker 1: He Brews eight one to two says, we have such
13:16
Speaker 1: a high priest, one who is seated at the right
13:18
Speaker 1: hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a
13:21
Speaker 1: minister in the holy places, in the true tent that
13:23
Speaker 1: the Lord set up. Not man did you catch that?
13:27
Speaker 1: Not man, not Moses, not Aaron, not any flawed temporary
13:31
Speaker 1: priest with sins of their own. The Lord himself set
13:34
Speaker 1: this sanctuary up so stop everything for a moment, because
13:37
Speaker 1: we need to confront this together. What sanctuary are you
13:41
Speaker 1: still looking to? Is your spiritual life built on man
13:45
Speaker 1: made religion, priests, performances, traditions, guilt ridden rituals, or do
13:52
Speaker 1: you actually believe that your advocate is already seated in
13:55
Speaker 1: the heavenly sanctuary where it is finished. Let's be real
14:00
Speaker 1: it in the comments, how were you taught to think
14:02
Speaker 1: about Jesus' role after the resurrection? Did anyone ever show
14:07
Speaker 1: you this verse in Hebrews? Because for many of us,
14:10
Speaker 1: Jesus was presented as a past event. He saved us,
14:14
Speaker 1: he died for us, he rose again. Amen, And then
14:19
Speaker 1: what what is he doing now? Most Christians couldn't answer
14:22
Speaker 1: that question, but the Book of Hebrews does, and the
14:26
Speaker 1: answer is shocking. Jesus didn't retire, He didn't disappear into
14:32
Speaker 1: spiritual retirement. He didn't ascend into the clouds to rest
14:36
Speaker 1: from a job well done. He is actively ministering right now,
14:40
Speaker 1: not in a church building, not in a temple on earth,
14:43
Speaker 1: but in the real eternal sanctuary in heaven. He is
14:46
Speaker 1: our mediator. He's the bridge between your worst day and
14:50
Speaker 1: God's presence. He's the voice that speaks better things than
14:54
Speaker 1: your sin ever could. He's the righteousness that defends you
14:59
Speaker 1: when your performing collapses. He's the reason you can pray
15:03
Speaker 1: at all. You don't need a priest, you don't need
15:06
Speaker 1: a ritual. You don't need to earn your way into
15:08
Speaker 1: a place that Jesus already occupies on your behalf and listen.
15:12
Speaker 1: He's not pacing, he's not stressed. He's not wondering whether
15:16
Speaker 1: your salvation will hold. He is seated. Why seated? Because
15:20
Speaker 1: priests in the Old Covenant never sat down. Their work
15:24
Speaker 1: was never finished. Day after day, they stood offering sacrifices, blood, fire, guilt, repeat.
15:32
Speaker 1: But Jesus, once he made the final offering his body,
15:35
Speaker 1: he sat because it is done. Do you live like
15:38
Speaker 1: it is? Let's ask it honestly. Are you still trying
15:42
Speaker 1: to make up for your failures? Are you still apologizing
15:45
Speaker 1: to God in ways that sound like you're begging him
15:49
Speaker 1: to take you back? Are you still punishing yourself with shame,
15:53
Speaker 1: like his sacrifice wasn't enough. If you've done this comment below,
15:57
Speaker 1: let's be real together. Let's break that off right now,
16:02
Speaker 1: because that kind of thinking doesn't belong to the New covenant.
16:05
Speaker 1: It belongs to the old priesthood, the one that Hebrews
16:09
Speaker 1: says has been replaced. There is no more curtain, there
16:13
Speaker 1: is no more altar for animals. There is no more
16:16
Speaker 1: cycle of temporary forgiveness. There is only one high priest,
16:20
Speaker 1: one offering one throne, one seat, and he is there
16:24
Speaker 1: for you. So the next time you pray, stop picturing
16:28
Speaker 1: an empty sky. Picture the throne of Majesty Jesus, seated, hands,
16:33
Speaker 1: scarred eyes blazing with mercy, your name on his lips.
16:37
Speaker 1: And understand this. Your access to God is not a mood.
16:41
Speaker 1: It's a man. It doesn't rise and fall with your behavior.
16:45
Speaker 1: It doesn't disappear when you mess up. It doesn't grow
16:47
Speaker 1: stronger when you feel spiritual. It is finished because he
16:52
Speaker 1: is seated. So are you going to keep crawling back
16:55
Speaker 1: to man made systems? Are you going to keep looking
16:58
Speaker 1: for earthly mediators to fix what Jesus already finalized? Or
17:03
Speaker 1: are you ready to let the real high Priest take
17:06
Speaker 1: his rightful place, not just in heaven but in your heart.
17:11
Speaker 1: Let's talk in the comments. How does this change the
17:14
Speaker 1: way you pray? How does this shift the way you
17:17
Speaker 1: see your failures, your weaknesses, your place in God's presence.
17:21
Speaker 1: This is not theological trivia. This is your birthright in Christ.
17:26
Speaker 1: So stop living like a priest has to die for
17:29
Speaker 1: you again. Stop acting like the door to God is locked.
17:33
Speaker 1: Stop crawling in guilt when the throne is already open.
17:36
Speaker 1: Jesus isn't calling you to try harder. He's calling you
17:40
Speaker 1: to come boldly because he's already there waiting. Let me
17:45
Speaker 1: ask you something raw, What exactly do you think God
17:48
Speaker 1: promised You Think carefully before you answer, because the way
17:52
Speaker 1: you live, the way you fear, the way you panic
17:55
Speaker 1: in trials or shrink back in sin, it's all rooted
17:59
Speaker 1: in what you believe about his promises. Some of us
18:02
Speaker 1: were raised to believe God only blesses when we behave,
18:07
Speaker 1: that we get favor if we obey hard enough, that
18:11
Speaker 1: if we sin too much, he pulls away, that his
18:14
Speaker 1: promises have conditions, dangling over our heads like thunder clouds.
18:18
Speaker 1: If that's what you were taught, it's no wonder you're exhausted.
18:22
Speaker 1: You're still living under an old contract, a covenant built
18:25
Speaker 1: on your performance, your will, power, your perfection. But Hebrews
18:30
Speaker 1: eight confronts that false system and flips the entire table.
18:34
Speaker 1: It tells us that Jesus is the mediator of a
18:37
Speaker 1: better covenant, a covenant built not on rules we could
18:40
Speaker 1: never keep, but on better promises, not the kind you earn,
18:45
Speaker 1: but the kind God swears on his own name. Pause
18:48
Speaker 1: with me, what does that phrase even mean? Better promises?
18:52
Speaker 1: Do you know what made the old promises so fragile?
18:56
Speaker 1: They depended on us. God said, if you obey me fully,
19:00
Speaker 1: I will bless you, and Israel agreed. But how long
19:04
Speaker 1: did it last? Not even one generation. Read the Old
19:08
Speaker 1: Testament and you'll see the cycle law, failure, judgment, repentance, blessing,
19:15
Speaker 1: law failure, on repeat. Because human willpower was never strong
19:20
Speaker 1: enough to hold the weight of divine holiness. The old
19:24
Speaker 1: Covenant exposed sin, it never cured it. So when Hebrews
19:28
Speaker 1: says this new covenant is built on better promises, it's
19:31
Speaker 1: not exaggerating. It's telling us that the foundation has shifted
19:36
Speaker 1: from man's vow to God's oath, from human strength to
19:39
Speaker 1: divine mercy. Hebrew's eight ten is the crescendo. It's the
19:45
Speaker 1: declaration of this new covenant, and it will shake your
19:49
Speaker 1: theology if you let it. For this is the covenant
19:53
Speaker 1: that I will make with the House of Israel after
19:55
Speaker 1: those days, declares the Lord. I will put my laws
19:59
Speaker 1: in to their minds and write them on their hearts,
20:03
Speaker 1: and I will be their God, and they shall be
20:06
Speaker 1: my people. Do you see it? The old covenant said
20:10
Speaker 1: do this or die. The new Covenant says, I will,
20:14
Speaker 1: I will, I will. God isn't asking you to write
20:17
Speaker 1: his laws. He's writing them on you. God isn't waiting
20:21
Speaker 1: for you to obey so he can be your God.
20:24
Speaker 1: He's declaring himself as yours first. It's no longer external obedience,
20:31
Speaker 1: its internal transformation. And yet so many of us still
20:35
Speaker 1: live like we're trying to re earn what he already gave.
20:39
Speaker 1: So here's the confrontation. What kind of promises are you
20:43
Speaker 1: building your faith on? Drop it in the comments. Were
20:46
Speaker 1: you raised with fear based religion where you told God
20:50
Speaker 1: only loves the obedient and blesses the clean. Because that
20:55
Speaker 1: belief system isn't Christianity. It's an echo of Sinai. It's
21:00
Speaker 1: Old Covenant fear rapt in Christian language. But in christ
21:05
Speaker 1: you don't live at Mount Sinai. You live at Mount Calvary.
21:09
Speaker 1: You don't carry stone tablets, you carry a spirit filled heart.
21:14
Speaker 1: You don't labor for grace, you receive it better promises.
21:19
Speaker 1: Do you still think God is only pleased with you
21:22
Speaker 1: when you perform well better promises? Do you wonder if
21:26
Speaker 1: one failure can make him reject you better promises? Do
21:31
Speaker 1: you struggle to believe that God wants to draw near
21:34
Speaker 1: when you feel dirty and distant? Better promises? Because in
21:38
Speaker 1: this covenant, God doesn't just reach for you when you
21:41
Speaker 1: behave He moves inside you when you believe. And the
21:45
Speaker 1: proof the next verse and Hebrews eight eleven says, and
21:49
Speaker 1: they shall not teach each one his neighbor, and each
21:52
Speaker 1: one his brother, saying know the Lord, for they shall
21:55
Speaker 1: all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.
21:59
Speaker 1: Let them explode in your spirit. No more spiritual hierarchy,
22:04
Speaker 1: no more needing a priest to access God for you,
22:07
Speaker 1: No more distance, no more veil. You don't have to
22:10
Speaker 1: climb a ladder of rules to find him. He has
22:13
Speaker 1: come to you. Do you know what that means for
22:16
Speaker 1: your shame, your addiction, your fear of failing again. It
22:19
Speaker 1: means God isn't waiting on you to fix it before
22:22
Speaker 1: He loves you. He's already entered the mess. He's already
22:26
Speaker 1: placed his word in your heart. He's already claimed you
22:29
Speaker 1: as his own. He's not loving a future version of you.
22:33
Speaker 1: He's dwelling in you now. But are you living like that?
22:37
Speaker 1: Or are you still thinking your quiet time? Your church
22:40
Speaker 1: attendants your sinlessness. This week somehow determines if you're still
22:44
Speaker 1: on good terms with God. Let's be honest. Put it
22:48
Speaker 1: in the comments. Have you been taught to believe that
22:51
Speaker 1: God's love increases or decreases based on your spiritual performance?
22:57
Speaker 1: Because that's not better promises that its bondage. This new
23:02
Speaker 1: covenant doesn't ignore obedience. It produces it, but not through fear,
23:07
Speaker 1: through love, through union, through grace that transforms, not guilt
23:12
Speaker 1: that manipulates. God's law was once external, Now it's written
23:16
Speaker 1: in your bones. God's presence was once restricted, Now he
23:20
Speaker 1: lives in your chest. God's favor was once conditional, Now
23:25
Speaker 1: it's sealed by blood. Better promises. So I ask you again,
23:30
Speaker 1: what are you trusting an old contract based on your
23:32
Speaker 1: ability to obey or a new covenant sealed in Jesus veins,
23:37
Speaker 1: where the promises don't depend on you, but on the unshakable, unstoppable,
23:42
Speaker 1: I will of God. That's the covenant you're under now.
23:46
Speaker 1: If you believe, let me ask you a question most
23:49
Speaker 1: people never think to ask. If the law of God
23:53
Speaker 1: was once written on stone tablets, where is it now?
23:57
Speaker 1: I want you to stop everything and consider this. If
23:59
Speaker 1: God but once thundered from Mount Sinai and carved his
24:03
Speaker 1: commandments into rock with divine fire, and if that system
24:06
Speaker 1: was made obsolete, where did the law go? Because God
24:10
Speaker 1: never canceled his holiness, he didn't lower the standard, he
24:14
Speaker 1: didn't delete righteousness, he didn't abandon truth. So where did
24:19
Speaker 1: it go? He Bruis eight gives an answer that should
24:23
Speaker 1: absolutely rattle the bones of any one who's been faking religion,
24:27
Speaker 1: anyone trying to be a good person, any one pretending
24:31
Speaker 1: obedience without surrender. The law didn't vanish, It moved, and
24:36
Speaker 1: it moved somewhere terrifyingly intimate into your heart. He Brews
24:40
Speaker 1: eight ten says I will put my laws into their
24:43
Speaker 1: minds and write them on their hearts. Do you feel
24:47
Speaker 1: the shift? This is no longer God writing on cold stone.
24:50
Speaker 1: This is God taking a chisel to your soul. No
24:54
Speaker 1: more tablets you carry in your hands. He's engraving his
24:57
Speaker 1: will into your thoughts, your desires, your internal wiring. And
25:02
Speaker 1: here's the uncomfortable part. You can't run from that kind
25:05
Speaker 1: of conviction. You can throw away your Bible, avoid church,
25:09
Speaker 1: ignore sermons, silence preachers. But if God has written his
25:14
Speaker 1: law into your inner man, there's no hiding from it.
25:19
Speaker 1: It speaks when no one is around. It convicts when
25:22
Speaker 1: no one is watching. It pulls you back from sin
25:25
Speaker 1: when you've already planned to indulge. Have you felt that voice,
25:28
Speaker 1: that internal tug when you tried to cross a line
25:31
Speaker 1: you used to walk freely. If you felt it, drop
25:35
Speaker 1: a comment, because that is not shame, that's not religion.
25:39
Speaker 1: That is a sign that the Covenant is alive in you.
25:42
Speaker 1: You're not just breaking rules anymore. You're grieving a relationship.
25:46
Speaker 1: You don't just feel guilty. You feel a rupture between
25:49
Speaker 1: your spirit and the God who dwells there under the
25:52
Speaker 1: old covenant. God was on a mountain in a temple
25:56
Speaker 1: behind a veil. But now he's in you. Let that land.
26:00
Speaker 1: He's in you. This is why you can't sin in
26:02
Speaker 1: peace anymore. This is why you can't live like everyone
26:06
Speaker 1: else does and feel okay with it. This is why
26:10
Speaker 1: compromise feels like death, because when the law moved into
26:14
Speaker 1: your heart, so did the law giver, and he is holy.
26:20
Speaker 1: So if you've been wrestling within a conviction lately, don't
26:23
Speaker 1: curse it, don't run from it. That war inside you
26:26
Speaker 1: is proof that God has written his law on your life.
26:30
Speaker 1: But here's where it gets even deeper. He didn't just
26:33
Speaker 1: write rules in you, He planted desire. That's the difference
26:37
Speaker 1: between religion and rebirth. Religion tries to obey God to
26:42
Speaker 1: get close to him. Rebirth obeys because you're already close.
26:46
Speaker 1: One is obligation, the other is overflow. Have you felt
26:51
Speaker 1: that shift? The moment when reading your Bible isn't duty,
26:54
Speaker 1: it's delight. The moment when you turn from sin, not
26:58
Speaker 1: out of fear, but because it just doesn't fit any more.
27:02
Speaker 1: That's new covenant life. So why do so many Christians
27:06
Speaker 1: still try to live like Old Testament Israelites? They try
27:09
Speaker 1: to obey without intimacy, They follow rules without relationship. They
27:14
Speaker 1: recite verses but deny the power. That's what happens when
27:18
Speaker 1: you're trying to live a supernatural covenant through natural means.
27:23
Speaker 1: You can't grit your way into holiness. You can't white
27:26
Speaker 1: knuckle your way into purity. You can't force a love
27:29
Speaker 1: for righteousness. But God can write it in you. So
27:33
Speaker 1: let's make it plain. Are you following God from the
27:35
Speaker 1: outside inn or is something burning from the inside out?
27:40
Speaker 1: Let us know in the comments be real. Have you
27:43
Speaker 1: tried to obey without intimacy? Have you mistaken guilt for godliness?
27:48
Speaker 1: This is why the New Covenant is better, because God
27:52
Speaker 1: doesn't leave you to fight sin alone. He doesn't say
27:56
Speaker 1: do better, He says, let me move in. The same
28:00
Speaker 1: same spirit that raised Jesus from the grave now empowers
28:03
Speaker 1: your obedience. The same word that once thundered from heaven
28:07
Speaker 1: now whispers in your soul. The same holiness that once
28:11
Speaker 1: hovered over the ark now resides in your chest. You
28:16
Speaker 1: are not a temple visitor. You are a temple carrier.
28:19
Speaker 1: And when you sin now, you don't run to a priest.
28:23
Speaker 1: You run to the priest who already knows, who already paid,
28:27
Speaker 1: who already lives inside you and is rewriting your very nature.
28:32
Speaker 1: That's why shame can't fix you. That's why punishment doesn't purify.
28:36
Speaker 1: Because the only power strong enough to transform you is
28:40
Speaker 1: love written in blood, sealed by grace, planted in your bones.
28:46
Speaker 1: So stop living like a servant earning your place. You
28:49
Speaker 1: are a son, a daughter, a dwelling place. And when
28:53
Speaker 1: God moves in, he doesn't redecorate it. He renovates it.
28:56
Speaker 1: He tears down lies, he rips up bitterness, replaces fear
29:01
Speaker 1: with truth. He destroys idols, not with a hammer from heaven,
29:05
Speaker 1: but with fire from within. That's what it means to
29:09
Speaker 1: have the law written on your heart. And if you've
29:11
Speaker 1: felt that fire, even if it scares you, even if
29:15
Speaker 1: it convicts you, even if it exposes things you didn't
29:18
Speaker 1: want to see, thank God for it, because that fire
29:22
Speaker 1: is how you know you belong. Let me ask you
29:25
Speaker 1: something that will test your theology. Do you believe God
29:29
Speaker 1: forgets what you still cry over? Not just forgives, forgets,
29:34
Speaker 1: not just wipes the slate, destroys the slate. Because we
29:38
Speaker 1: say we believe in grace. But when the lights are
29:41
Speaker 1: off and the silence is loud, some of you still
29:45
Speaker 1: rehearse what you begged God to forgive ten years ago.
29:48
Speaker 1: You still see the failure, the moment, the habit, the lie,
29:52
Speaker 1: the abortion, the affair, the addiction, the rage, the secret,
29:57
Speaker 1: and you wonder, does he really not remember? Then Hebrews
30:01
Speaker 1: eight roars with a thunderous answer, For I will be
30:04
Speaker 1: merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins
30:08
Speaker 1: no more. Hebrews eight twelve. Did you hear it? Not
30:13
Speaker 1: I will remember and punish less. Not I will remember
30:17
Speaker 1: and shame privately. Not I will remember but love you anyway. No,
30:22
Speaker 1: he says, I will remember no more. And here's the truth.
30:26
Speaker 1: Most preachers are too scared to say. That's offensive to
30:30
Speaker 1: the religious mind. It's outrageous to those still clinging to
30:34
Speaker 1: law based righteousness, and it's terrifying to those who believe
30:39
Speaker 1: fear is what keeps people holy. But God says, in
30:43
Speaker 1: the face of all our sin, I will remember no more.
30:47
Speaker 1: Now let me ask you, why are you still remembering
30:50
Speaker 1: what God has already erased. Let's go deeper under the
30:54
Speaker 1: old Covenant. Sin was never forgotten. It was simply postponed,
30:59
Speaker 1: covered by the blood of animals, deferred, suspended, but always
31:04
Speaker 1: still there. Year after year, the day of atonement came
31:08
Speaker 1: like clockwork, a fresh sacrifice, a trembling priest, an anxious nation.
31:13
Speaker 1: Another year of guilt pressed beneath another layer of ritual,
31:17
Speaker 1: but the weight was still there. Do you know what
31:20
Speaker 1: that feels like? To make it another year but the
31:22
Speaker 1: guilt doesn't die. That's religion, that's the old Covenant. But
31:28
Speaker 1: when Jesus entered the heavenly Sanctuary, not with the blood
31:32
Speaker 1: of goats, but with his own, spotless blood, he didn't
31:35
Speaker 1: postpone your forgiveness. He purchased it. He didn't delay the punishment,
31:40
Speaker 1: He absorbed it. He didn't cover your record, he incinerated it.
31:45
Speaker 1: Hebrews ten seventeen echoes this promise again just two chapters later,
31:51
Speaker 1: their sins and lawless acts, I will remember no more.
31:56
Speaker 1: God is not forgetful, He is sovereign, He is not
31:59
Speaker 1: absent minded, and he is merciful. He remembers all things
32:03
Speaker 1: except what his covenant declares forgiven. Now pause and let
32:08
Speaker 1: this hit your soul. This means that sin you confessed
32:12
Speaker 1: in two thousand and five that still haunts you when
32:14
Speaker 1: you try to pray. God doesn't know what you're talking about.
32:19
Speaker 1: That memory that plays like a horror film in your
32:21
Speaker 1: head every night before bed. God isn't watching it with you.
32:25
Speaker 1: That thing you think disqualifies you from calling yourself chosen
32:29
Speaker 1: or called. God sees the blood, not the blemish, And
32:33
Speaker 1: so why are you still living like the trial is ongoing? Friend?
32:36
Speaker 1: The court room is empty. The judge stood up, the
32:40
Speaker 1: sentence was passed, the gavel came down, and Jesus said,
32:44
Speaker 1: I'll take it. And when the penalty was paid in full,
32:48
Speaker 1: the father said, I will remember it no more. Do
32:51
Speaker 1: you believe that? Let's talk in the comments right now,
32:54
Speaker 1: be raw. What sin have you secretly believed God still
32:59
Speaker 1: holds over you? What guilt have you refused to let
33:02
Speaker 1: go of even though the cross has because this is
33:06
Speaker 1: where shame dies and freedom begins. But maybe you were
33:12
Speaker 1: raised under a religion that kept sin alive. Maybe you
33:16
Speaker 1: were taught that guilt is what keeps people moral. Maybe
33:19
Speaker 1: someone told you that remembering what you did is necessary
33:27
Speaker 1: to stay humble. Not. Let me be clear. God uses
33:33
Speaker 1: conviction to change your heart, but he never uses condemnation
33:37
Speaker 1: to torment your soul. The enemy accuses, God redeems. The
33:42
Speaker 1: accuser says, remember what you did. God says, remember what
33:46
Speaker 1: Jesus did. And that's the entire difference between law and grace.
33:50
Speaker 1: The law shows you your failure. Grace shows you your freedom.
33:55
Speaker 1: The law kept a record of wrongs. Grace burned the
33:58
Speaker 1: record to ashes. This is why the old covenant had
34:01
Speaker 1: to go, because as long as it stood, sin would
34:05
Speaker 1: always be remembered. But Hebrews eight says that Jesus mediates
34:09
Speaker 1: a better covenant, not just because of where he ministers
34:13
Speaker 1: or who he is, but because of what his covenant
34:16
Speaker 1: does to your past. It buries it forever. So he
34:20
Speaker 1: is what I need you to hear. May be for
34:22
Speaker 1: the first time in your life. You are not your past.
34:26
Speaker 1: You are not your mistake. You are not the sin
34:29
Speaker 1: that once defined you. You are not the addiction you battled.
34:32
Speaker 1: You are not the worst thing you ever did. You
34:35
Speaker 1: are what the Blood declares you to be. Forgiven, clean, sealed, loved, righteous,
34:40
Speaker 1: And the one who knows all things has chosen to
34:42
Speaker 1: remember your sin no more. That's not leniency, that's covenant.
34:47
Speaker 1: That's not forgetfulness. That's Grace on fire. So stop dragging
34:51
Speaker 1: the corpse of your old life into the new temple.
34:55
Speaker 1: Stop whispering apologies for a crime that's already been judged
34:58
Speaker 1: and covered. Stop rehearsing what Heaven already removed. You are
35:03
Speaker 1: free because Jesus was bound. You are clean because Jesus
35:08
Speaker 1: was made sin. You are remembered because your sin was not.
35:13
Speaker 1: That's the power of Hebrews eight. Let me ask you
35:16
Speaker 1: something bold, dangerous even what if much of what you
35:20
Speaker 1: call Christianity is actually just an updated version of the
35:24
Speaker 1: Old Covenant. I'm serious. What if what you were taught
35:28
Speaker 1: to call faith, the pressure to behave, the guilt after failure,
35:33
Speaker 1: the fear that God might leave you if you mess up.
35:36
Speaker 1: What if all of that wasn't gospel at all, just
35:39
Speaker 1: SINAI dressed up in sunnay close. Because Hebrews eight doesn't tiptoe,
35:43
Speaker 1: it doesn't politely suggest, It draws a line in fire.
35:48
Speaker 1: In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first
35:51
Speaker 1: one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old,
35:55
Speaker 1: is ready to vanish away. Obsolete, not still you, not
36:00
Speaker 1: equally valid, not still necessary for maturity, Obsolete like a
36:05
Speaker 1: dead language, like a broken mirror, like trying to bring
36:09
Speaker 1: a burnt offering to a God who already offered himself.
36:13
Speaker 1: But if that's true, if the Old is truly gone,
36:16
Speaker 1: then why are so many still living like it's alive.
36:20
Speaker 1: Let's get painfully honest. Drop it in the comments. Were
36:24
Speaker 1: you raised in a church where performance earned approval, where
36:28
Speaker 1: sin made you untouchable, where leadership sounded more like law
36:32
Speaker 1: than love. Because that's not new Covenant teaching, that's old
36:36
Speaker 1: Covenant bondage. And the terrifying truth is many pulpits are
36:41
Speaker 1: still preaching Moses with Jesus name taped over it. We've
36:45
Speaker 1: replaced animal sacrifices with emotional ones. We don't kill lambs,
36:51
Speaker 1: we kill ourselves with shame. We don't offer goats, we
36:55
Speaker 1: offer empty promises. God, I swear I'll do better. It's
36:59
Speaker 1: all the same system, a covenant based on us. But
37:02
Speaker 1: God has torn it down, and yet we rebuild it.
37:07
Speaker 1: We invent rules Jesus never gave. We measure spirituality by
37:11
Speaker 1: how miserable someone looks. We turned grace into a probation
37:15
Speaker 1: period and treat worship like a performance for a God
37:19
Speaker 1: who still evaluating us from a distance. And Hebrews eight
37:23
Speaker 1: exposes the tragedy we are trying to resurrect what God
37:28
Speaker 1: has called dead. Listen, the old Covenant wasn't evil, it
37:32
Speaker 1: was holy. It revealed the righteousness of God. It exposed
37:38
Speaker 1: the sin of man, but it could never fix the
37:41
Speaker 1: human heart. It could only diagnose, never cure. It could
37:45
Speaker 1: only command, never empower. It could only reveal guilt, never
37:49
Speaker 1: remove it. So why are we still building our churches
37:53
Speaker 1: on a system that couldn't save. Why are we still
37:57
Speaker 1: preaching behavior as the path to blessing? Why do so
38:00
Speaker 1: many believers believe in the blood of Jesus but live
38:05
Speaker 1: as if Moses still holds the key to God's presence.
38:09
Speaker 1: Because religious control is easier than spiritual freedom. That's the truth.
38:15
Speaker 1: It's easier to manage people with fear than disciple them
38:19
Speaker 1: with grace. It's easier to motivate with guilt than teach
38:23
Speaker 1: people how to commune with the spirit. It's easier to
38:27
Speaker 1: demand rule keeping than to trust that God's law written
38:31
Speaker 1: on the heart will guide the life. So we water
38:35
Speaker 1: down the Gospel, we resurrect SINAI, we rebuild the temple
38:38
Speaker 1: that Christ already tore down, and we turn the new
38:41
Speaker 1: Covenant into a remix of the old. But Hebrews eight
38:45
Speaker 1: won't let us do that. God didn't revise the Covenant,
38:49
Speaker 1: he replaced it. He didn't tweak the law, he transplanted it.
38:52
Speaker 1: He didn't update the priesthood, he abolished it by becoming
38:56
Speaker 1: the high priest himself. So ask yourself, what of your
39:00
Speaker 1: faith is still old? Do you measure your nearness to
39:04
Speaker 1: God by how clean you've lived this week? Do you
39:07
Speaker 1: think prayer only works when you've had a good day?
39:10
Speaker 1: Do you feel unworthy to worship after a failure? That's
39:13
Speaker 1: old covenant residue. You're still trying to earn access. You're
39:17
Speaker 1: still operating like the veil is in place. You're still
39:21
Speaker 1: waiting for permission in a temple that's already torn in
39:25
Speaker 1: two when the tragedy. Churches profit off that mindset, because
39:31
Speaker 1: if you need a priest to get to God, they
39:33
Speaker 1: can control you. If you need the rules to feel righteous,
39:37
Speaker 1: they can shame you into obedience. If you believe the
39:40
Speaker 1: old covenant still applies, you'll never walk in the freedom
39:44
Speaker 1: Christ purchased. So it's time to ask, have you truly
39:48
Speaker 1: entered the New Covenant? Or are you just using Jesus
39:52
Speaker 1: name while still bowing at Mount Sinai. Hebrews eight is
39:56
Speaker 1: not an invitation. It's a declaration. The old has passed,
40:00
Speaker 1: the new has come. The veil is torn, the priest
40:04
Speaker 1: has risen, the sacrifice is finished, The covenant is better.
40:08
Speaker 1: The blood speaks louder than the axis is open. And
40:12
Speaker 1: yet many still stand outside the temple, afraid to enter,
40:16
Speaker 1: not because God shut the door, but because religion built
40:20
Speaker 1: a fake one and told them it was locked. So
40:24
Speaker 1: I ask again, and I want you to answer honestly,
40:27
Speaker 1: what part of you is still trying to earn what
40:29
Speaker 1: Jesus already gave? Tell us be real, what habits, teachings
40:37
Speaker 1: or lies still drag your heart back to the old system,
40:43
Speaker 1: because it's time to bury it. Hebrews eight gives you permission, No,
40:47
Speaker 1: it gives you command. Walk out of that old tent,
40:51
Speaker 1: leave behind the blood soaked altars, step away from the
40:54
Speaker 1: thunder of Sinai, and walk boldly into the throne room.
40:58
Speaker 1: There's no incense to light, no curtain to part, and
41:02
Speaker 1: no ladder to climb. Only a man seated in glory,
41:06
Speaker 1: a covenant sealed in blood, a promise etched on your heart,
41:09
Speaker 1: and a father who remembers your sins. No more, this
41:13
Speaker 1: is not a renovation, it's a resurrection. Let me ask
41:17
Speaker 1: you something most Christians never stop to question. What does
41:22
Speaker 1: your access to God really look like? Don't give the
41:25
Speaker 1: rehearsed answer, give the real one, Because if you're still
41:28
Speaker 1: hesitant to pray when you sin, still afraid to worship
41:31
Speaker 1: after failure, still unsure if God wants you near, then
41:35
Speaker 1: Hebrews eight is about to confront your entire understanding of Christianity,
41:40
Speaker 1: because it's not just about what covenant we're under, it's
41:44
Speaker 1: about who is standing at the center of it. He
41:47
Speaker 1: Brews eight opens with a thunderous declaration. It doesn't begin
41:52
Speaker 1: with an opinion. It begins with a reality. We have
41:56
Speaker 1: such a high priest that not we hope to have,
41:59
Speaker 1: that not we used to have. If you behave, you
42:02
Speaker 1: might earn one. We have him right now, not in theory,
42:07
Speaker 1: not in shadow, not in ritual. We have a living, breathing, exalted,
42:11
Speaker 1: eternal high Priest, and his name is Jesus. But most
42:15
Speaker 1: believers live like their access to God depends on their behavior,
42:19
Speaker 1: not their representative. Let me ask you, how often have
42:24
Speaker 1: you believed the lie that when you're doing good, God listens,
42:29
Speaker 1: and when you're failing, he turns his face. That is
42:33
Speaker 1: old covenant, thinking that his priesthood with strings attached religion,
42:37
Speaker 1: and Hebrews eight is here to break it because this
42:40
Speaker 1: high priest, he's not standing in a human temple. He
42:44
Speaker 1: is seated at the right hand of the throne of
42:47
Speaker 1: majesty in heaven. Let that hit you. Seated, not pacing,
42:51
Speaker 1: not stressed, not evaluating your performance. Seated. Why because the
42:56
Speaker 1: work is finished? Old covenant priest never sat down? There
43:00
Speaker 1: were no chairs in the temple. Why because the work
43:04
Speaker 1: was never done. Sin kept piling up, sacrifices, kept bleeding
43:08
Speaker 1: out year after year after year. But Jesus, when he
43:13
Speaker 1: offered himself once for all, he sat. So ask yourself,
43:17
Speaker 1: why are you still trying to stand in guilt when
43:20
Speaker 1: Jesus is seated in victory? Why are you still asking
43:24
Speaker 1: for permission to draw near when your high priest tore
43:28
Speaker 1: the veil? Drop it in the comments. Be real? Have
43:32
Speaker 1: you been taught to treat God like he's only accessible
43:35
Speaker 1: through good behavior? Like sin locks the door and only
43:39
Speaker 1: penance finds the key. Because Hebrews eight breaks that door
43:43
Speaker 1: off the hinges. Jesus is not just a sacrifice. He
43:47
Speaker 1: is a mediator. You don't come to God by dragging
43:51
Speaker 1: your righteousness. You come by clinging to his You don't
43:55
Speaker 1: ascend a spiritual mountain, you step into grace. And here's
43:59
Speaker 1: the part we don't talk about enough. This high priest
44:02
Speaker 1: isn't passive. He's active. He doesn't just sit as a reminder.
44:07
Speaker 1: He intercedes. He represents you before the Father. Every weakness,
44:12
Speaker 1: every wound, every wordless groan, every prayer you couldn't finish,
44:18
Speaker 1: He carries it, translates it, sanctifies it, presents it, which
44:22
Speaker 1: means the reason you're still standing is not your strength.
44:26
Speaker 1: It's his intercession. You fall, but he pleads you wander,
44:31
Speaker 1: but he represents you tremble, but he speaks on your behalf.
44:35
Speaker 1: And the Father never denies the son. So the real
44:38
Speaker 1: question isn't whether you have access. The question is do
44:42
Speaker 1: you believe it? Do you live like the temple's open?
44:45
Speaker 1: Do you pray like the veil is gone? Do you
44:48
Speaker 1: worship like there's no ladder to climb? Let's go further.
44:51
Speaker 1: Hebrews eight calls Jesus a minister of the true Tent,
44:55
Speaker 1: the one set up not by man but by the Lord.
44:59
Speaker 1: The old old covenant priesthood served in a tent made
45:02
Speaker 1: of fabric, wood, bronze, ritual smoke. But it was only
45:07
Speaker 1: a shadow, a silhouette of the real sanctuary in heaven,
45:11
Speaker 1: the one where Jesus ministers even now. Think about it.
45:15
Speaker 1: You're not praying into an echo chamber. You're not sending
45:19
Speaker 1: words into the sky hoping they land in the right place.
45:24
Speaker 1: When you pray, Heaven opens, the throne room listens, and
45:27
Speaker 1: the one who bears your scars on his resurrected body
45:31
Speaker 1: lifts your name before the Father. This isn't religion, this
45:35
Speaker 1: is reality. So let me confront you, gently but directly.
45:39
Speaker 1: What version of Jesus are you following? The one who
45:42
Speaker 1: died for you but left you to figure the rest out,
45:46
Speaker 1: or the one who died, rose, ascended and now ministers
45:50
Speaker 1: in heaven for you daily, never tiring, never pausing, never ceasing.
45:55
Speaker 1: Because if your Jesus is still hanging on a cross
45:58
Speaker 1: in your theology, no under you feel like the work
46:01
Speaker 1: isn't finished. But our High Priest is seated, crowned, interceding, permanent.
46:07
Speaker 1: And here's the scandal. Under the old system, only one
46:11
Speaker 1: man could enter the Holy of Holies and only once
46:15
Speaker 1: a year. Everyone else stood outside. But now, because of
46:19
Speaker 1: the better Covenant, every believer has that access every day,
46:25
Speaker 1: every moment, no appointment needed. So why do so many
46:28
Speaker 1: of us still live outside the vale? Why do we
46:31
Speaker 1: still beg for closeness when He already brought us in.
46:35
Speaker 1: Why do we still act like intimacy with God is
46:38
Speaker 1: a reward, not a birthright. If this convicts you, say
46:42
Speaker 1: something in the comments. What lie have you believed about
46:46
Speaker 1: your access to God? What fear has made you act
46:50
Speaker 1: like you don't belong in His presence? Because I came
46:53
Speaker 1: to tell you belong, not because of you, because of Him,
46:58
Speaker 1: the one seated in gloe, the one who bears your name,
47:02
Speaker 1: the one who bled once and now pleads forever, the
47:05
Speaker 1: one who isn't ashamed to call you his own. So
47:08
Speaker 1: stop standing at a distance. Stop rehearsing your failures as
47:13
Speaker 1: if they have veto power over your prayers. Stop thinking
47:16
Speaker 1: you need more time, more discipline, more proof of your worth.
47:21
Speaker 1: You have access, you have representation. You have a high
47:24
Speaker 1: priest whose blood speaks a better word. So draw near,
47:28
Speaker 1: not in fear, but in full assurance, Because this is
47:32
Speaker 1: what he Brews eight is really about. Not just better theology,
47:36
Speaker 1: not just deeper understanding, but a better priest who gives
47:40
Speaker 1: you better access to a better presence that you never
47:44
Speaker 1: have to earn. Let me ask you something few ever
47:47
Speaker 1: ask out loud. If the new Covenant is so powerful?
47:51
Speaker 1: Why does your life still feel powerless? Why do so
47:54
Speaker 1: many believers know the theology of grace but live exhausted, anxious, defeated, bitter,
48:03
Speaker 1: and numb. Hebrews eight didn't come to give you new vocabulary.
48:08
Speaker 1: It came to give you a new nature. And if
48:11
Speaker 1: we've read it correctly, if this Covenant is truly better
48:15
Speaker 1: eternal spirit written, then it must do more than free
48:19
Speaker 1: you from guilt. It must transform your life. But transformation
48:24
Speaker 1: doesn't begin by trying harder. It begins by believing deeper.
48:30
Speaker 1: And for many, that's where the fracture is. You believe
48:33
Speaker 1: Jesus is enough to save you, but not enough to
48:36
Speaker 1: change you. You believe his blood washed your past, but
48:40
Speaker 1: you think your future still depends on your effort. You
48:43
Speaker 1: believe you're forgiven, but you don't feel free. Let's be real.
48:48
Speaker 1: Drop it in the comments if this hits home, how
48:51
Speaker 1: many of you are still trapped in cycles? You can't
48:54
Speaker 1: break habits, you can't defeat mindsets that keep pulling you
48:59
Speaker 1: back into shame. That's not just a struggle. That's a sign,
49:03
Speaker 1: a sign your still living like the old Covenant has
49:06
Speaker 1: something to offer you. A sign you're treating grace like
49:10
Speaker 1: permission rather than power. But Hebrews eight doesn't just announce
49:14
Speaker 1: a new covenant, it explains what that covenant actually does
49:19
Speaker 1: inside you. I will put my laws into their minds
49:24
Speaker 1: and write them on their hearts, and they shall all
49:27
Speaker 1: know me. This is no longer about external compliance. It's
49:32
Speaker 1: about internal communion. God isn't managing your behavior from the outside.
49:38
Speaker 1: He's rewiring your spirit from the inside. Think about that.
49:42
Speaker 1: The commandments of God are no longer hanging on a wall.
49:46
Speaker 1: They are carved into your being, not with stone, but
49:50
Speaker 1: with spirit, which means you're not trying to obey with
49:52
Speaker 1: borrowed strength. Your walking in obedience because God himself is
49:57
Speaker 1: energizing your desire to love what he loves and hate
50:00
Speaker 1: what he hates. This is the miracle of regeneration, not
50:04
Speaker 1: that you perform righteousness, but that righteousness becomes your nature.
50:09
Speaker 1: So again, if your life still feels unchanged, the question
50:13
Speaker 1: isn't what more should I do? The real question is
50:18
Speaker 1: have I fully surrendered to what Jesus already did? Because
50:23
Speaker 1: the New Covenant doesn't ask for your help, it demands
50:26
Speaker 1: your surrender. It doesn't say he's the law. Try harder
50:30
Speaker 1: this time, it says, here's my spirit, I'll walk it
50:34
Speaker 1: with you. And that changes everything. It changes how you
50:37
Speaker 1: fight temptation. You stop white knuckling your way to purity.
50:42
Speaker 1: You start listening to the voice inside that says this
50:46
Speaker 1: doesn't belong in you any more. It changes how you
50:50
Speaker 1: carry pain. You stop pretending strength, you start pouring out
50:53
Speaker 1: your heart to the one who lives inside you and
50:56
Speaker 1: already knows it. Changes how you walk through failure. You
51:00
Speaker 1: stop hiding, you start running to the throne of grace
51:03
Speaker 1: because your high priest is already there waiting. But most
51:08
Speaker 1: of all, it changes your posture. You don't live trying
51:12
Speaker 1: to earn. You live out of what's already been given.
51:15
Speaker 1: So tell me, why would anyone want to go back
51:18
Speaker 1: to the old. Why would anyone trade a living covenant
51:22
Speaker 1: for dead religion? Why would you settle for a system
51:26
Speaker 1: that gives you rules when you've been offered a relationship?
51:30
Speaker 1: Let me push even deeper. How do you respond when
51:32
Speaker 1: you fall? Do you retreat? Do you punish yourself? Do
51:36
Speaker 1: you hide for a few days until you feel worthy
51:39
Speaker 1: to come back? If so, you're still thinking like a slave,
51:44
Speaker 1: not a son. Because under the old covenant, the law
51:48
Speaker 1: only condemned. Under the new the law convicts, but it
51:51
Speaker 1: always leads you back to communion. That's the difference between
51:55
Speaker 1: guilt and grace. Guilt drives you away from God. Grace
52:00
Speaker 1: raws you near even in your weakness. And yet many
52:03
Speaker 1: still fear that grace will lead to compromise, that if
52:06
Speaker 1: people really believed they were this free, they'd abuse it.
52:10
Speaker 1: But Hebrews eight says otherwise, because when the law is
52:14
Speaker 1: written on your heart, you don't want to sin more.
52:17
Speaker 1: You want to sin less. Not because you're scared, but
52:21
Speaker 1: because you're satisfied. You've tasted something better, you've seen something holy,
52:27
Speaker 1: You've felt his presence alive in you, and you know
52:30
Speaker 1: nothing compares. So what does this covenant do to your life?
52:34
Speaker 1: It breaks pride because you didn't earn this. It breaks
52:38
Speaker 1: fear because he remembers your sins no more. It breaks
52:42
Speaker 1: performance because your high priest is seated. It breaks anxiety
52:47
Speaker 1: because your future is secured by his intercession, not your perfection.
52:53
Speaker 1: It breaks legalism because you no longer need to be
52:56
Speaker 1: your own savior. It breaks bitterness because the one who
53:00
Speaker 1: forgave you now lives in you, empowering you to forgive others.
53:05
Speaker 1: It breaks shame because the blood didn't just wash your past,
53:09
Speaker 1: It claimed your future when it births worship, not the
53:13
Speaker 1: kind that waits for music, but the kind that explodes
53:16
Speaker 1: in you when you remember you are known, sealed, cleansed, called.
53:22
Speaker 1: So I'll ask you again, and I want your answer
53:24
Speaker 1: in the comments. What has the New Covenant done in you?
53:28
Speaker 1: What lies has it shattered? What change has it broken?
53:32
Speaker 1: And what parts of your life are you still trying
53:34
Speaker 1: to manage outside of this Covenant's power? Because the better
53:38
Speaker 1: Covenant demands a better response. No more half way surrender.
53:43
Speaker 1: No more treating Jesus like he needs your help, no
53:47
Speaker 1: more looking to Moses for what only Christ can give.
53:50
Speaker 1: He is the mediator, You are the recipient. He is
53:54
Speaker 1: the priest. You are the temple. He is the blood,
53:57
Speaker 1: You are the beloved. This is the life. Hebrews eight
54:01
Speaker 1: invites you into, not a religion, a resurrection. When was
54:05
Speaker 1: the last time you opened your mouth and declared who
54:09
Speaker 1: you are in Christ out loud like your life depended
54:12
Speaker 1: on it? Because it does. Too many believers are dying inside,
54:18
Speaker 1: not from lack of truth, but from silence. You have
54:21
Speaker 1: the theology. You have the Bible, but the words of
54:25
Speaker 1: life are trapped in your throat, and the enemy is
54:29
Speaker 1: counting on it. You think silence is humble, the devil
54:33
Speaker 1: knows it's deadly. Hebrews eight isn't just theology to study,
54:37
Speaker 1: it's a sword to swing. A covenant is not just
54:41
Speaker 1: something you believe in your heart. It's something you declare
54:45
Speaker 1: with your mouth. It's your war cry. But instead most
54:50
Speaker 1: believers whisper through life. They speak passively about grace while
54:54
Speaker 1: screaming inside with fear. They recite verses like they're unsure
54:59
Speaker 1: of their right to speak. But listen to me. If
55:02
Speaker 1: Jesus shed his blood for it, then you better raise
55:06
Speaker 1: your voice and fight with it. The word is not
55:09
Speaker 1: a wall decoration. It is a weapon. So let's start here.
55:14
Speaker 1: I want you to say it, not just read it,
55:16
Speaker 1: not just think it. Say it. I enter his gates
55:19
Speaker 1: with thanksgiving. I approach his throne boldly. I am not
55:22
Speaker 1: outside the veil. I live on the other side of it.
55:25
Speaker 1: I have a high priest who calls me by name.
55:28
Speaker 1: I do not beg for access. I've been given it.
55:31
Speaker 1: I am not tolerated, I'm welcomed. Say it again, louder
55:35
Speaker 1: this time, in your house, in your car, wherever you are.
55:39
Speaker 1: Say it because this is the battleground of the New Covenant,
55:43
Speaker 1: not your perfection, your profession. Romans says, with the heart
55:47
Speaker 1: one believes, and with the mouth one confesses. Jesus didn't
55:53
Speaker 1: die so you could not quietly at truth. He died
55:56
Speaker 1: to put power in your mouth. So let me ask you,
55:59
Speaker 1: what do you speaking? King over yourself? What do you
56:01
Speaker 1: say when you fail? Do you say I'm just a mess,
56:04
Speaker 1: I'll never change. God must be done with me. That's
56:08
Speaker 1: not Covenant language, That slavery. The New Covenant says, I
56:12
Speaker 1: am the righteousness of God in Christ. His mercies are
56:15
Speaker 1: new every morning. There is no condemnation for those in
56:19
Speaker 1: Christ Jesus. Nothing can separate me from the love of God.
56:24
Speaker 1: Are you living like? Those? Are your personal declarations or
56:28
Speaker 1: just Sunday verses to be admired from a distance. Tell
56:31
Speaker 1: us in the comments, what word have you reclaimed lately?
56:35
Speaker 1: What scripture is becoming your weapon in the fight? Because
56:38
Speaker 1: the word doesn't change you until it's spoken through you.
56:42
Speaker 1: And this isn't name it, claim it hype. This is war.
56:45
Speaker 1: Every time you say I'm chosen, you punch shame in
56:48
Speaker 1: the face. Every time you say I am clean, you
56:51
Speaker 1: shut the mouth of accusation. Every time you say I
56:54
Speaker 1: am a child of God, you tear down the lie
56:57
Speaker 1: that says you're still an orphan. The covenant doesn't just
57:01
Speaker 1: cover your past, it arms you for the present. But
57:05
Speaker 1: here's the tragedy. Many of you have left the sword
57:09
Speaker 1: in its sheath. You study the word, but you don't
57:13
Speaker 1: swing it. You quote it, but you don't wield it.
57:17
Speaker 1: You believe it in theory, but you don't speak it
57:20
Speaker 1: in warfare. So your emotions run wild, your mind spirals,
57:25
Speaker 1: your shame resurfaces, and your silence feeds the storm. But
57:30
Speaker 1: Hebrews eight declares, this covenant is written on your heart,
57:34
Speaker 1: and what's written on your heart must come out of
57:36
Speaker 1: your mouth. Say it again. I am forgiven, I am accepted,
57:40
Speaker 1: and I am filled, I am sealed, I am made new.
57:44
Speaker 1: I am not under law, I am under grace. Say
57:47
Speaker 1: it until Hell hears you, say it, until your past
57:50
Speaker 1: shuts up. Say it until your inner critic bows down
57:53
Speaker 1: to the blood. Because here's what Satan can't stand. He
57:58
Speaker 1: can tempt your thoughts, but he can't withstand your declaration.
58:02
Speaker 1: He can whisper to your mind, but he flees when
58:05
Speaker 1: you speak the truth. Jesus didn't silence the enemy and
58:10
Speaker 1: the wilderness by quoting his feelings. He quoted the word
58:14
Speaker 1: out loud, repeatedly until Satan left. So what are you
58:20
Speaker 1: waiting for? This is your sword, not your suggestion, your sword.
58:24
Speaker 1: This is your confession, not your commentary. Your confession, and
58:28
Speaker 1: the Covenant gives you full authority to use it. So
58:32
Speaker 1: I ask again, what word are you speaking right now?
58:35
Speaker 1: Over your shame, over your fear, over your children, over
58:39
Speaker 1: your calling. Drop it in the comments, type the verse,
58:43
Speaker 1: write the declaration, make it public, because when you say it,
58:48
Speaker 1: you reinforce it, and when others read it, they borrow
58:51
Speaker 1: courage from it. This is the rhythm of covenant life.
58:56
Speaker 1: Not fear, not striving, not silent and suffering, but bold declaration,
59:02
Speaker 1: spirit born identity, grace filled confession. You were never meant
59:07
Speaker 1: to whisper through a gospel that was shouted from a cross.
59:11
Speaker 1: You were meant to roar, to stand in front of
59:13
Speaker 1: your giants and say I come in the name of
59:16
Speaker 1: the Lord, to face your past and say it has
59:19
Speaker 1: no voice here, to walk through the fire and say
59:22
Speaker 1: He is with me and I will not be consumed
59:26
Speaker 1: because this covenant was not built on silence. It was
59:29
Speaker 1: built on blood, and that blood now speaks a better word.
59:33
Speaker 1: So what are you waiting for? Speak it? Say it,
59:37
Speaker 1: Proclaim it until your identity is louder than your insecurity.
59:41
Speaker 1: Declare it until your covenant becomes your confidence. Confess it
59:46
Speaker 1: until the word becomes flesh in your everyday life. You
59:49
Speaker 1: are not under the shadow anymore. You are not under
59:52
Speaker 1: the veil. You are not under condemnation. You are not
59:56
Speaker 1: under fear. You are under grace, under mercy, under the blood,
1:00:00
Speaker 1: under the voice of a savior who says, this one
1:00:04
Speaker 1: is mine. What good is knowing about the new covenant
1:00:08
Speaker 1: if you never surrender to the one who wrote it
1:00:11
Speaker 1: in his own blood, Because at the end of the day,
1:00:14
Speaker 1: this is not just a better covenant, it's a better
1:00:16
Speaker 1: calling not to agree, not to admire, but to die
1:00:21
Speaker 1: and rise. You've heard the theology, You've seen the contrast.
1:00:25
Speaker 1: You know now Hebrews eight isn't asking you to add
1:00:29
Speaker 1: Jesus to your life. It's asking you to lay your
1:00:32
Speaker 1: life at his feet. And that's the part we don't like.
1:00:35
Speaker 1: Because covenant isn't casual a covenant demands everything. It's not
1:00:39
Speaker 1: a contract you sign, it's a death you die. And
1:00:43
Speaker 1: now the question is staring you down. Will you step
1:00:46
Speaker 1: into it? God didn't tear the veil for you to
1:00:49
Speaker 1: build a new one out of pride. God didn't write
1:00:52
Speaker 1: his law on your heart so you could still live
1:00:55
Speaker 1: by your feelings. God didn't seat your high priest in
1:00:58
Speaker 1: heaven just so you could visit him on Sundays. He
1:01:01
Speaker 1: did it so you could live entirely, radically, irreversibly changed.
1:01:07
Speaker 1: But change doesn't come to the curious, It comes to
1:01:10
Speaker 1: this surrendered. So I'm asking, have you truly surrendered? Because
1:01:15
Speaker 1: if you haven't, you're not just missing out on a
1:01:17
Speaker 1: better covenant, you're rejecting the only salvation God offers. That's
1:01:23
Speaker 1: the thunder buried in Hebrews eight. It's not just a
1:01:26
Speaker 1: teaching on priesthoods and promises. It's a warning, a plea,
1:01:31
Speaker 1: a rescue rope thrown from heaven. You see, the worst
1:01:35
Speaker 1: thing you can do with this Truth's admire it from
1:01:38
Speaker 1: a distance, to agree with it intellectually, to nod, to
1:01:42
Speaker 1: say amen, to feel stirred, but never yield. The old
1:01:48
Speaker 1: covenant kept people near, but never inside. The new one
1:01:52
Speaker 1: pulls you in, but you have to choose to enter,
1:01:57
Speaker 1: and entering means letting go of everything elseat So I
1:02:00
Speaker 1: ask again, have you entered? Tell me in the comments,
1:02:04
Speaker 1: where have you been holding back? What part of your
1:02:08
Speaker 1: heart still belongs to the old? Where has fear kept
1:02:12
Speaker 1: you from surrender? Because the highest form of ingratitude is
1:02:17
Speaker 1: not forgetting to say thank you, it's refusing to fall
1:02:20
Speaker 1: at the feet of the one who died for you.
1:02:24
Speaker 1: Let's be clear. This new covenant cost guard everything, his son,
1:02:28
Speaker 1: his blood, in his wrath. And what does it ask
1:02:31
Speaker 1: of you? Everything and not your perfection, your surrender, not
1:02:35
Speaker 1: your goodness, your trust, not your rituals, your heart. There
1:02:39
Speaker 1: is no half way entry into this covenant. You are
1:02:42
Speaker 1: either inside the veil or still living in the shadows.
1:02:46
Speaker 1: You are either under grace or still trying to prove
1:02:49
Speaker 1: your worth. You are either alive in Christ or dead
1:02:52
Speaker 1: in religion. So let's make it plain. If you're still
1:02:56
Speaker 1: waiting for the right time to surrender, this is it.
1:03:00
Speaker 1: If you've been pretending to walk with God but secretly
1:03:04
Speaker 1: carrying the weight of guilt and shame, drop it now.
1:03:08
Speaker 1: If you've spent years attending church, memorizing verses and still
1:03:12
Speaker 1: feeling empty inside. It's because you haven't fully come into
1:03:16
Speaker 1: the covenant. But the door is open, the blood is
1:03:19
Speaker 1: still fresh, the priest is still seated, and Heaven is
1:03:23
Speaker 1: still listening. Come. Come with your failures, and come with
1:03:26
Speaker 1: your sin, Come with your weariness, and come with your doubts.
1:03:30
Speaker 1: To come and let the blood speak over your life.
1:03:32
Speaker 1: And come and let the Covenant rewrite your story. Come
1:03:36
Speaker 1: and let the spirit fill what religion never could. Because
1:03:40
Speaker 1: this isn't just about knowing better, it's about being made new.
1:03:45
Speaker 1: You cannot graduate to grateful living until you surrender to
1:03:49
Speaker 1: the giver of life. And when you do, you will
1:03:52
Speaker 1: never go back to shadows again. You will never settle
1:03:56
Speaker 1: for religion again. You will never feel oft and again.
1:04:00
Speaker 1: You will never face the throne with trembling hands again.
1:04:03
Speaker 1: You will stand clean, you will walk confident, you will
1:04:08
Speaker 1: live loved. This is the gospel, This is the better Covenant,
1:04:12
Speaker 1: This is the invitation. Now you choose, and before you go,
1:04:17
Speaker 1: if you made it to the end of this teaching

1:04:23
