(Matthew 26: 26-29)

 
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;  For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.  But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. (Matthew 26: 26-29)

 
The Bible covenant is a promise between God and man. God made humans unilaterally covenanted and obedient. However, since humans disobeyed, the previous covenant was invalidated, and the new covenant was signed again. So, the covenant made with old people is called the old covenant, and the covenant made with new people is called the new covenant.

Jesus was resurrected and ascended. The night before Jesus was crucified, he said the new covenant. After breaking the bread, he said, "This cup is a new covenant to be established with blood." Those who are in Jesus Christ become partakers of the new covenant. Those who are in Jesus Christ are those who were buried together in association with Jesus who died on the cross. I believe that Jesus died on behalf of my sins and accept that it is my death.

So, for the law (Galatians 2:19), for sin (Romans 6: 2), and for the world (Galatians 6:14), it represents the dead. In Romans 6: 3, "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?" It is to participate in the New Covenant that is associated with Jesus' death. In other words, those born again participate in the new covenant.

So, it means that the born again is justified by faith. Anyone who believes in Jesus is not born again, but he who is united with Jesus' death is born again. So, those who died with Jesus participate in the new covenant. In Romans 6: 7 『For he that is dead is freed from sin. 』

So the word of Romans (8:1) is applied.『There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 』

Many church people mistakenly believe, "If you believe in Jesus, you will be saved." If you are not united with the death of Jesus, it is useless to say that you believe in Jesus. Also, if he says he believes in Jesus and falls again, he is not born again.

But those who fall into the new covenant are mentioned in Hebrews 6: 5-6:『 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.』

There is no opportunity again. God tells those who are born again to fight evil and to be overcomers. In Hebrews 12:4『Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. 』 The Bible points to "not willing to fight evil." Most people in the church say, "The born again is forced to sin because of the sinful nature of the flesh." So, he asks for the blood of Jesus every day to confess his sins and be forgiven. Every day we must be dead to be saved.

So, the saint must be the one who fights evil and overcomes it. To participate in the new covenant, you must be a participant in the covenant "with all your heart and with all your heart." Those who participate in the new covenant are those who are crucified with Jesus. It is not a formal procedure of baptism, but a circumcision of the heart. Those who participated in the new covenant will not fall, but if for some reason they fought against evil and fell, they must rise again, look at himself on the cross with Jesus, and fight against evil. God will judge the fall.

So, in Hebrews 4:1『Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.』Between the New Covenant and the Fall, those who hold onto the Word of God are saved, but those who hold onto the human word can move away from salvation. The word of God said, "Fight with blood," and the human words comforted, “because you have to sin because of the sinful nature of the flesh, you can wash away your sins with the blood of Jesus."You must win the fight by remembering "I'm dead every day."

Matthew 2:7-11

(Matthew 2:7-11) Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.   When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. In ancient times, gold, frankincense, and myrrh were mainly offerings to kings or gods. Biblical scholars say, "In 243 BC, the offerings of Seleucus II Callinicus dedicated to the Temple of Apollo in Miletus included gold, fra...

Matthew 2:1-6

  (Matthew 2:1-6) Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,   Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. (Matthew 2:1-6) Jesus came down to the earth according to the prophecy of the Old Testament 『 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler ...

Matthew 2:12-15

(Matthew 2:12-15) And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.   And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:   And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. "It might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son." The prophet quoted by Matthew is Hosea. In Hosea 11:1 My son means a young Israeli community. It is to tell how God called the Israelites from Egypt in the past to "Israel apostate through Baal." “ Called ou...
