The new
covenant is established in better promises
Heb 8:6
6 But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to
theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is
superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better
promises.
Heb 9:15
15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of
a new covenant, that those who are called may
receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free
from the sins committed under the first covenant.
Heb 10:23,
36
22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the
full assurance that faith brings, having
our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and
having our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we
profess, for he who promised is faithful.
36 You need to persevere so
that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
Heb 11:9
8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later
receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even
though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he made his home in the Promised Land like a
stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did
Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.
