Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an

Future Secured by God.

God would act by bring forth a “New Covenant.” It would replace the covenant of the “Law” which was begun at Mt. Sinai and was broken by man’s weakness and sin even before Mose came down from the mount. But this covenant could not be broken, because it was by His plan and by His power alone. It would not depend on man to keep but only upon God, the father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

This covenant would cleanse vs. 25 the people of their sin, it would give them a New Heart vs. 26, and a New Spirit vs. 27, and a New Relationship vs. 28

For Israel it meant God's Provision of the Promised land would not be lost vs. 29-30 and they would be blessed in that land and protected from their enemies.

Entering The New  Covenant

The New Covenant began when Christ came as Israel’s Messiah but was rejected by the nation He came to redeem. Israel rejected their promised Christ.  Another failure, the worst sin that they could commit, but still God, for His name’s sake, would not reject His people, even though they had rejected His son. Now was the time when He would bring for the New Covenant.

A New Covenant that those in Israel who did believe could enter into and even more incredible, even those who were never a part of Israel could also enter in. This covenant is why the Gospel came to us as Gentiles and it is still in effect and cannot fail for any and all those who would accept Christ as their Savior

Hebrews 9: 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament (covenant), that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

By faith, we can enter into this New covenant of Grace with God. We do not keep this Covenant by our power, for we cannot, but we can by simple faith and trust come under its protection, promises and blessings.

We can experience cleansing of our sin by the renewing of forgiveness. We can have a new Heart, a new life source of God’s love. We can have a new Spirit. The Holy Spirit indwells us and everything is changed, everything is made new. We will have a new relationship with God, growing stronger and renewing itself each day. We can rest in God's Provision, trusting God to meet the needs of our life today and promises eternal life with God forever.

Knowing that God for His name’s sake has acted to save me. Knowing that I will fail but that God will never fail. Knowing that by believing His promise, accepting Jesus as my savior means that I cannot be lost again, cannot be returned to a fatherless, heartless, hopeless reject.

God has claimed me as his child and whatsoever God doeth he doeth it forever. If that doesn’t apply to my salvation by the shed blood of Jesus Christ then it doesn’t apply to anything promised by God in the Bible.
