I do not know what the new covenant is. I know what a covenant is. IF we do out part than God will do His part. All of the promises of God are conditional. They depend on us to do our part. For example: Trust in the Lord, Lean not on your own understanding. If we do our part then we can be sure God will do His part.
In the New Testament, the concept of salvation under the New Covenant is a central theme, and several verses highlight this aspect of Christian belief. One of the clearest expressions of salvation under the New Covenant is found in the teachings of Jesus and the writings of the apostles. Here are a few key verses:
- Romans 10:9-10 (NIV): "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved."
- Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV): "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast."
- John 3:16 (NIV): "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
- Acts 4:12 (NIV): "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."
- Titus 3:5 (NIV): "He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit."
These verses, among others, emphasize that salvation under the New Covenant is a result of God's grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. It's not based on human works or merit but is a gift freely offered to all who believe. This understanding of salvation reflects the fulfillment of the promises of the New Covenant, as foretold by the prophets, particularly Jeremiah 31:31-34, where God promises to forgive sins and write His law on the hearts of His people.
