Jesus Bought Our Endurance

"Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you."  (Luke 22:20)

What that means is that the new covenant, promised most explicitly in Jeremiah 31 and 32, was secured and sealed by the blood of Jesus. The new covenant comes true because Jesus died to establish it.  And what does the new covenant secure for all who belong to Christ? Perseverance in faith to the end.  Listen to Jeremiah 32:40 :;

"And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me."
Jeremiah 32:40 ;

The everlasting covenant, the new covenant, it also includes the unbreakable promise: “I will put the fear of me in their hearts, that they may not turn from me.” They may not. They will not. Christ sealed this covenant with his blood. He purchased your perseverance.  If you are persevering in faith today, you owe it to the blood of Jesus. The Holy Spirit, who is working in you to preserve your faith, honors the purchase of Jesus. God the Spirit works in us what God the Son obtained for us. The Father planned it. Jesus bought it. The Spirit applies it all of them infallibly.  God is totally committed to the eternal security of his blood-bought children. Alleluia, God bless
