“that thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day: that he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
Deuteronomy 29:12-13 KJV
Moses renewed God’s covenant with God’s people, recited the songs of God and heartily blessed the children of Israel before his departure. Moses was frustrated with their hard and stubborn hearts after forty years in the wilderness as they couldn’t obey God’s commandments. Only in Christ, in the new covenant do we get a new heart by Jesus’s Blood where God’s laws are written in it. It is a change of covenant where only Jesus became the Mediator of it - no more sin-consciousness, only Jesus the Son-consciousness! It was good that Jesus ascended to heaven to send us the mighty Holy Spirit Who helps us to be Christ-conscious. Now it is the triumphant song of the new creation. In Christ, every spiritual blessing has become ours being joint-heirs with Christ. Only Jesus Christ is our Lord Who conquered death, He is the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Hallelujah!
