How to Cut A Covenant Part Three
8 STEPS IN CUTTING A BLOOD COVENANT ( Part 4 )
Jesus told Peter to forgive a brother who sinned against him " not seven
times ,
but seventy times seven . " ( Matthew 18:21 - 22 )
That's 490 times! Do you think Jesus would not do something He told us to
do?
I don't think so! But , don't try to take advantage of that fact.
Jesus
told us several times that if we loved Him we would keep His commandments.
( John 14:15 , John 15:10 , 14 ) I would hate to know that as far as Jesus
was concerned ,
I did not love Him because I refused to keep His commandments ! Remember
the cursings of the covenant! ( Have you ever noticed that there are blessings
and cursings in marriage vows? { " In sickness and in Health " , " For Better
or For Worse " , " Until death do us part " }
The Blood Covenant that
exists between Jesus and ourselves also applies between Christians ! Think
about that the next time you have a problem arise between a brother or sister
in the Lord!
7. The Setting Up Of A Memorial.
a. Set up a monument.
" Now therefore come thou , let us make a covenant , I and thou; and let
it be for a witness between me and thee .
And Jacob took a stone , and set it up for a pillar { A structure of like
form erected
as a monument . [ Webster's Dictionary ] } "
b. Plant a tree or grove of trees.
Breaking the Covenant was an act of declaring war. ( Such as cutting down
the grove of trees or the tree which had been planted as a monument to the
Covenant . ) { Food for Thought : Is Arbor Day a monument to mankind's Covenant
to the Earth to keep trees growing upon it? Remember , new trees
are planted every Arbor Day )
c. Write the Terms of the Covenant on a tablet of stone and set that up
as a Memorial.
( Is this the reason for the Ten Commandments first appearing as they did?
{ Deuteronomy 27:1 - 8 } )
d. The Cross of Calvary.
The Cross represents the Covenant we have with God through Jesus. Wearing
it ( as on
a necklace or a lapel pin ) is a witness and a memorial of that covenant.
{ But , don't go overboard ! }
