the word used to describe the New Covenant and what you have in God your salvation not only means better and not only means greater it means the best throughout the Book of Hebrews is the word better greater more excellent I want to open that up of what that means for us and for your life Hebrews 8 six but now he has obtained a more excellent ministry as the mediator of a better Covenant a greater Covenant established on better and greater promises Believers often look at the New Covenant and they think it’s more LAX
than the old you know the old you had to do this this this but the New Covenant is easier not ex not really you know in the old Covenant you are not to commit adultery and not commit murder but in the New Covenant you’re not to think murder or think adultery if you have anger you curse somebody you’re committing murder in your heart if you lust you’re committing adultery that’s higher not lower you know and and the Bible doesn’t say the newer Covenant here you know there are some there are some believers who are getting into like
