The New Covenant is a wonderful eternal commitment that God has made with all those who put their faith in Jesus Christ. In Christ not only can we participate in all of the blessings God promised to Abraham, but also be free of all curse. Gal 3:13,14,29 Col 2:15

Here are 12 blessings we enjoy under the New Covenant:

1. God forgives all our sins Matt 26:28, Acts 13:38 
Our sins are not merely covered by the blood of bulls and goats, they are paid for and taken away by the Lamb of God John 1:29. At the cross, justice was satisfied. His forgiveness is perfectly complete.

2. God remembers our sins no more Heb 8:12 &10:17, Jer 31:34
In terms of justification it’s as if we never did them.

3. God promises never to be angry with us again Isa 54:7-10
Unlike the obsolete covenant of law, the New Covenant is an everlasting covenant of love and peaceIsa 54:10, 55:3. God will never stop doing good to us Jer 32:40.

4. God qualifies us Col 1:12
It’s no longer a case of what we do (under the law covenant) or who we’re related to (under the Abrahamic covenant). It’s who we trust.

5. Jesus takes hold of us and never lets go Php 3:12, Ju 24
Nothing can separate us from the love of God Rom 8:39. Consequently we can speak of our hope as a “firm and secure” anchor for the soul Heb 6:19.

6. God credits us with the perfect righteousness of Jesus 2 Cor 5:21
Righteousness is not earned, it is received Rom 5:17. Because of Jesus’ sacrifice our status before God is “perfect forever” Heb 10:14.

7. God gives us the Holy Spirit to teach us John 14:26 to empower us Acts 1:8 and remind us of our righteousness John 16:10 
We no longer need priests to mediate for us, for now we can all know the Lord Jer 31:34. We are His royal priests 1 Pet 2:9.

8. God is for us Rom 8:31 
God justifies us and there is no more condemnation Rom 8:1. When we sin, Jesus doesn’t judge us, He defends us 1 John 2:1. His grace enables us to overcome sin Titus 2:12. He abundantly supplies all our needs Phil 4:19 that we might enjoy life to the full John 10:10. God’s favor is unearned and unmerited.

9. God is always with us! Ez 37:27
Because of Jesus the door to the throne room is always open Heb 4:16 We can approach Him with freedom and confidence Eph 3:12.

10. God empowers us to overcome the enemy 1 John 5:4
We have His delegated authority over demons and disease Mark 16:17. We live under His divine protection Luke 10:19. We are destined to “reign in life” Rom 5:17.

11. God offers us His rest Heb 4:10-11
Under the old covenant it was do, do, do. Under the new covenant it’s done, done, done John 19:30. We are seated with Christ in heavenly places Eph 2:6.

12. God gives us eternal life Rom 6:23
What must we do to inherit these promises? Trust in Jesus. Set your life on Him. Take the crown off your head and lay it at His feet. Choose to believe what the Bible says about Him, that He died for the sins of the world – including yours – and rose victorious from the dead. Let others know that He is your Redeemer and King. Ask Him to fill you with His Spirit that you might know Him more.
