The New Covenant Is A Bible Restoration Promise

By Joanna Walsh


Right from the time of Noah to the time of the Christ, God had made a lot of promises to His children, the top promise on the list being an assured blessing to those who are obedient to Him. If you take a closer look at some of the Bible restoration promises that happened, you will realize that God was genuine about His promises to humankind. God still make promises to people until this day.

He cursed the womb of Eve, and said that the woman would be subjective to her husband. He cursed man and said that he would sweat all his life to get food to eat. You can imagine that just after He created life, the great King proclaimed death to the world, and since then, sin entered the world and the good relationship between God and man broke.

The first point in human history where God made a promise to restore humankind was at the time of Noah. God would have chosen to destroy the world, and life would no longer exist. Instead, he made a promise that He would restore the earth, and never again in heaven and earthly history destroy the world with such a big storm like he did.

Even after the first restoration, humankind kept sinning, grumbling, complaining and continuously going against the will of God. Evil has taken roots in human hearts, and so God made a law that would guide the people, gave it to Moses at Mount Sinai and instructed him to read to the people. The Ten Commandments would be a complete guide for a godly-driven life for every person in Israel.

The way was never an easy thing to follow, and God saw that this was a difficult thing for humankind for sure. He knew that the only thing that humankind needed was love and grace, and this would happen in no any other way except through salvation. Moses told the people that God would bring a savior who would be their shepherd forever, and then he was no more.

Prophet Daniel further foretold of a king who would come and rule the earth. John the Baptist spoke of the Lamb of God to the people, and said that He would be greater and Baptize people with the Holy Spirit and fire. Prophet Joel spoke of the last days where God would pour out His spirit to men, and this would be the exact gift, which Christ would bring.

Perhaps there is nothing grater like the biblical promise of the restoration of the relationship between God and humankind. This, if anything, is what would bring God and the people that He had created together again, and he would do this by giving his only one son, Jesus, as a sacrifice. Jesus came, died for the sins of mankind and redeemed every person back to God.

Today, Christians are waiting for the big day; the day when they will be taken from the earth to spend eternity with God n the Kingdom of heaven. The bible says it is soon, but no one knows the time or the season. The only thing anyone knows is that God and humankind are now friends.
