An agreement with God...

What does God say that he will do ? Religionists disagree. God says he will put his truth in any who follow his clear way ... telling that so very many disagree and on what is written by God ...

The Covenant

Hebrews 8:8 For finding fault with them, he said :
"Behold, the days come"
 said the Lord
"... when I will make a new covenant
with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah"

Paul says the new covenant is with the two nations into which Israel was long ago divided ... so there is no mention of anyone else 'under grace' in scripture , not for any reason, not by any religious ritual ...

8:9 "Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers
 in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them
out of the land of Egypt;
because they continued not in my covenant,
and I regarded them not"
 said the Lord.

Paul explains the new covenant of grace is for reason only for the Hebrews whose 'fathers' broke the old covenant
read it carefully, what it actually says,
 proving that grace is for descendants of the two nations
,both descended from Jacob,
 whose ancestors broke the old covenant,
 NOT an agreement with some 'spiritual Israel' composed of gentiles
unconnected with Israel... as the scripture details elsewhere the 'salvation' of the gentiles to become loving people and please God , NOT under this covenant at all !

8:10 "For this is the covenant that I will make
with the house of Israel
after those days, "
said the Lord
" ... I will put my laws into their mind,
and write them in their hearts:
 and I will be to them a God,
 and they shall be to me a people:"

God takes this remnant descended from Jacob [Israel] to be His people
and says He will be their God ...
why do almost all modern Christians not believe Him ?????

8:11 "And they shall not teach every man his neighbour,
and every man his brother,
saying: 'Know the Lord' ...
for all shall know me,
from the least to the greatest."

God says that those under grace will NOT TEACH one another
 because He will put His laws in their minds and hearts Himself!

It should be clear that very few indeed , if any,  in religion have this one truth because all are divided on what the truth is and none agrees with this simple scripture about what God says is his agreement with men, not what most want to hear, so folks don't listen to god's words on his agreement  ... !

8:12 "For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more."

God says that He has completely forgiven Israel the sins of their forefathers under the old covenant , directly contradicting most modern Christianity's teachings.

the new covenant of grace is given by Paul in Heb 8:8-12 detailed here:-

It is identical to the version given long before Jesus came by Jeremiah 31:31-34 , underlining that grace is for the remnant children of Israel named by Jesus , tribe by tribe, descended from the named sons of Jacob [Rev 7:3-8]

These FEW [literally just tens of thousands - Jude 1:14] are thus the few that find the straight narrow way in this life prior to Jesus return to take those who are saints by then [or by death, if sooner] [Matt 7:14]

What then of the MANY who go by the broad way through destruction in death?

We know that countless many are saved according to Jesus [Rev 7:9-10] , so the MANY are certainly not all lost, as much modern divided Christianity claims!

we know from Jesus that the many who go by the broad way are all resurrected from hell and judged by works :-

Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

and we know when that is, AFTER the Millennium :-

Revelation 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.

So why are the FEW saved by grace of the new covenant,
http://www.christianforums.com/t7364664/

but the countless MANY saved after [Rev 7:9-10] who went through destruction in death and resurrection from hell clearly are saved by being freed from sin by death - as sin's sole wages is death :-

Romans 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Freed from past sin then, countless many who go by the broad way in this life are saved by works after the Millennium [in the righteous new earth kingdom of God]:-

2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Isaiah 62:2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness...

The FEW are translated first ,at Jesus' return, because God requires them to be the kings and priests in His kingdom, to serve the countless many [over 12 billion gentiles] later , as promised long ago to Moses :-

Exodus 19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

Israel were never a holy nation and kingdom of priests under the old covenant , but as Paul and God say in the hew covenant, their children [remnant of their descendants] are forgiven all sins under the old covenant.

Thus Jesus is the prophesied king [Messiah, Christ] who will re-unite the two Houses of divided Israel into a holy nation of priests in God's kingdom, by means of which countless many gentiles will be redeemed by the ministry and rule of the descendants of Jacob [Israel]

Author's Note

The single most important agreement between God and men and so very few read and und3erstand what it actually says very clearly... certainly its message is VERY DIFFERENT from that of any common religion
