A word from Apostle Eric
Decades of Christian teaching about the born again experience, the importance of receiving Jesus as your Saviour, and the assurances of the promises of God yet the late Bill Bright, founder of the well-known Campus Crusade for Christ, in the later years of his life, wrote:
“In the process of counseling and interacting with tens of thousands of students, laymen, and pastors year after year since 1951, our staff have discovered that:
• Many church members (including people from churches which honor our Lord and faithfully teach His Word) are not sure of their salvation; and
• The average Christian is living a defeated and frustrated life.”
Does this describe your experience? If it does, the Second Covenant course will turn that around for you. We are going to study what it means to be in covenant with God. You know, you can read the Bible all your life and still not understand what the Second Covenant is or what the differences are between the First Covenant and the Second Covenant. Surprisingly, many Christians have not even heard that there is a Second Covenant.
Christians want to know what it takes to bring them to the fulness of Christ. But because there is a real lack of apostolic teaching in the church they do not know what covenant God has assigned their faith to for their experience of Him.
If you want to be filled with the fulness of Christ, if you desire to walk in the fulness of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ, and know what it means to be complete in Him, then you must first understand what it means to be in covenant with God and how to serve Him according to the covenant of Jesus Christ.
The Bible Talks About Two Covenants
Although God talks about many covenants in the Bible, His main focus has always been on these two covenants:
1. The covenant God gave through Moses.
2. The covenant God gave through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Galatians 4:23-24
23. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai [Moses], which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. [the other from Jesus Christ].

The Witness Follows the Record
I’m going to introduce to you two words:
1. Record
2. Witness
What is the “record?” The record of your faith is the pattern of truth God lays as a foundation within the heart. “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son” (1 John 5:11).
What is the “witness?” The witness is the accompanying presence and power of God in your faith to sanctify your faith, make it living, and tether you to God. “This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth < read more...

First Covenant Sealed by the Blood of An Animal
We must know that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins (Heb. 9:22). The First Covenant was sealed by the blood of an animal, signifying that the Perfect One, Jesus Christ had not come yet to shed His blood for the sins of the world.
Moses sprinkled the blood of an animal upon the book of the law and all the tools and articles of the First Covenant to sanctify the faith of the people and so that they would order their perspective by God’s law, and that when they exercised their faith in the temple with these tools God would accept their faith.

Second Covenant Sealed by the Blood of Jesus
Matthew 26:28
“For this is My blood of the NEW TESTAMENT, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”
“For this is My blood of the NEW TESTAMENT, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”
God came in the flesh to shed His own blood for the sins of the world. The simple truth is that Jesus shed His blood for the forgiveness of sins and to establish in Himself a new covenant and to set the terms of the covenant in Himself. That means that the Second Covenant has new knowledge and new tools that are different from the First Covenant.
When you use the tools of His covenant that means you are:
• trusting in the blood of Jesus and

What the Word Covenant Means to God
As you know, sin separates man from God. After Adam sinned, God separated Adam from Him, “So he [God] drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life” (Gen.3:24). Every person is born into this condition of separation from God. For the Bible says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Rom.3:23).
A covenant is the terms God set for man to observe to be joined back to Him. When man meets the conditions of the these terms God:
• forgives sins,
• allow man to engage with Him for fellowsh read more...

Is the New Testament the Second Covenant?
Is the New Testament the Second Covenant? Yes the New Testament is the Second Covenant. The Bible calls this Second Covenant the New Covenant or the New Testament for which Jesus shed His blood. When Jesus said, “This is my blood of the NEW TESTAMENT” He was establishing a new covenant in Himself. God uses the word “testament” and “covenant” interchangeably.
Hebrews 8:7-8

Does the New Testament Replace the Old Testament?
Yes the New Testament replaced the Old Testament. The Bible says that Jesus transferred the covenant of Moses to Himself. Let’s read those scriptures from the gospel of Luke: “And He [Jesus] took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19). By doing this Jesus was transitioning the covenant to Himself and revealing: “You are to remember Me now, not Moses.”
The Bible says that the Second Covenant is the better Covenant: “He [Jesus] is the mediator of a BETTER covenant, which was established upon BETTER promises” (Heb.8:6).read more...

What Covenant is Your Faith Yoked to?
Jesus’ words in Matthew 11:28-30 teaches us that everything of Christ (His knowledge and His tools) are His yoke. His yoke is different than the yoke of Moses. Just as God gave Moses the pattern of knowledge and tools to give to the people, Jesus gave the pattern of His knowledge and tools to His APOSTLES to give to the church. Apostles, as Jesus’ stewards, teach the church doctrine, which is the true traditions of faith, being the traditions of our Lord.

Why Faith Must be Restricted to the Covenant
Have you noticed that the word “restriction” can sometimes leave a bad taste in your mouth? Our natural inclination is to come and go as we please—to be free spirited. Many times, because Christians misunderstand the word restriction they fight against it, thinking it is a call to legalism. Let me assure you that it is not.
Understanding what God means by “restriction” makes all the difference in the world. God made a promise to Himself and to humanity concerning the terms of our redemption, and then He restricted His covenant terms to the Oath He made, that our faith might be made living and perfect only in Him.

The Blood of Jesus Sprinkled on His New Covenant
The Blood of Jesus Sprinkled Upon His New Covenant
Was the Blood of Jesus Christ Sprinkled Upon the Laws, Commandments, Tools and Articles of His New Covenant? Yes the blood of Jesus Christ was sprinkled upon the laws, commandments, tools, and articles of His New Covenant.
Just as in Hebrews 9:18-20 we learned that Moses sprinkled the blood of an animal upon the things of the First Covenant to sanctify the people to join their faith to God, so also God sprinkled the blood of Jesus upon the commandments and tools of the Second Covenant to sanctify and join our faith to God.

The Terms of the New Covenant
This is God’s promise to you: If you exercise your faith with the knowledge and tools God sanctified by Jesus Christ then Jesus will represent you and mediate the covenant as your advocate and God will give you the blessing of Christ:
1. Grace and peace are multiplied to you. If you are not experiencing God’s multiplication and the progressive nature of God’s kingdom it is most likely that you are standing outside of what God has sanctified for your faith.
2. You daily receive healing from the injuries Satan inflicted upon the your soul.
