Resty: "When one is behaving less then they should it might seem that way. When one is not living according the the covenant they made with the Lord"

Resty, the covenant I (and all who are saved) with the Lord is certainly NOT based on my behavior. If it were, I would have broken the covenant within the first 5 minutes (on a good day) and I'd be toast.

The covenant I made with God is to believe in He whom He sent.

Hebrews 9:15 declares, “For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that He has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.”

I do not notice any "IF" attached to that free offer. What covenant did you make? How's it working for you?

Very well said.

You should expect some twaddle about a "new dispensation" as a reply.
