We
Have a Better Covenant
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
...he [Jesus] is the mediator of a better covenant, which was
established upon better promises.(Heb. 8:6)
Under the Old Covenant, the Israelites were servants of God; they
weren't sons of God, as we are today. The Bible says concerning us,
"Beloved, now are we the sons of God..." (1 John 3:2).
Since God made provision under the Old Covenant for His servants to be
healed and well, He has surely made provision for us as His sons.
Under the Old Covenant, God said, "...I will take sickness away from the
midst of thee. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in
thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfill" (Ex. 23:25-26).
He made provision for their healing, saying, "...I am the Lord that
healeth thee" (Ex. 15:26).
God made provision under the Old Covenant whereby Israel could live out
their full length of time down here on earth without sickness and
disease.
Now since He made that provision under the Old Covenant, and since we
have a better covenant established on better promises, I wonder if our
covenant includes health and healing (Heb.8:6)?
The better covenant includes all that the Old Covenant had and more, or
it's not better.
Know this Bible fact: God has dealt with sickness and disease
under the Old Covenant as well as under the New Covenant. Isaiah 53:4
and 5, Matthew 8:17, and First Peter 2:24 deal with the disease and
sickness problem that faces the Church and the world today.
And within those scriptures is God's cure. According to First Peter
2:24, by His stripes, we were healed.
Confession I am a child of God, a son of God. Since God provided
health and healing for His servants under the Old Covenant, He has
surely provided health and healing for us - His sons - today!
