The New Covenant Is A Bible Restoration Promise

By Joanna Walsh


Right from the time of Noah to the time of the Christ, God had made a lot of promises to His children, the top promise on the list being an assured blessing to those who are obedient to Him. If you take a closer look at some of the Bible restoration promises that happened, you will realize that God was genuine about His promises to humankind. God still make promises to people until this day.

If you have been reading your Bible carefully, you already know what the world has been like. And even thousands of books have been written, each talking about the evils of humankind and where all these started. In as much as the first human beings rebelled against and death became the results of such sins, God was still so merciful enough that He decided that the best thing to do is to restore the relationship between him and the world.

He tried many ways to being the second generation after the flood at His feed. He wanted to be their father, their God, their glorious King who would lead them for a lifetime. The problem with humankind s continuous rebellion and the continuous possession of a forgetful mindset that makes them forget the good things and plans the Good Lord has.

Even after the first restoration, humankind kept sinning, grumbling, complaining and continuously going against the will of God. Evil has taken roots in human hearts, and so God made a law that would guide the people, gave it to Moses at Mount Sinai and instructed him to read to the people. The Ten Commandments would be a complete guide for a godly-driven life for every person in Israel.

When God made the decision that He was going to give His only one son Jesus to come and save the world, He was sure that it could be the only way to save the human race from destruction and loss. It was the only way to restore the broken relationship between God and humankind. This was the only way to show the world the love of a loving and kind King who sits on the heavenly throne.

Samson was quite a man of Godly strength, and though he messed up by mixing his mission with pleasures of the woman Delilah, God used him to protect His people. At this time, God restored peace to the His children, and took life away from those who made the world difficult for His children at the time. From that time henceforth, God has used David, Ezekiel, Daniel, Jeremiah and other prophets to bring restoration to the world.

Perhaps there is nothing grater like the biblical promise of the restoration of the relationship between God and humankind. This, if anything, is what would bring God and the people that He had created together again, and he would do this by giving his only one son, Jesus, as a sacrifice. Jesus came, died for the sins of mankind and redeemed every person back to God.

People would not be praying to God if they did not have an intimate relationship with him. They would not be hoping for a future kingdom of there was nothing as such. Today, you are a friend of God, and He is with you wherever you go.
