Coming a Second Time for Those Who Are His – Hebrews 9:28

A Covenant with Better Promises – Hebrews 8:6
The promises of the new covenant, of which Jesus is the mediator, are superior. Under the new covenant there is no promise of earthly possessions. Instead we have the promise of eternal life (1 John 2:25) as God’s children (Rom 8:14-17). I am so thankful for the promises of the new covenant, and for my great high priest who makes that possible.
