Heb. 7:22 - By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
By Jesus we get full assurance of the excellent covenant that God made with us and the truth and stability of the promises connected with it. The covenant of grace started in Genesis 3:15 when God promised that the seed of the woman would bruise the serpents head. The prophets prophesied that this grace was to come. When Jesus came to His own they rejected Him and crucified Him. But it was ordained of God according to His eternal purpose in order that the Gentiles might be partakers of the saints in light.
As born again believers, we stand in fulfillment of the promise and are reaping the benefits of Jesus as our surety, built on better promises, a better priesthood, a better covenant that was not revealed in times of old. The work of God is that we believe in His death, burial, and resurrection. Since He hath given us all spiritual blessings in heavenly places as well as exceeding great and precious promises as well as a better hope, which is an inheritance undefiled and incorruptible reserved in heaven for us, it behooves us to invest time in the word of God. We would be sadly remiss if we were ignorant of His mercy, grace, wisdom and knowledge. Jesus is more than everything we need Him to be. He is the anchor of our souls, our peace, our joy and our redeemer. He has ransomed us from the enemy and we've been translated into the kingdom of His dear son. Christ is in us the hope of glory!
