By the Blood of the Eternal Covenant

20 Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant,
21 equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. - Hebrews 13:20-21

Christ died for you!
His blood is the eternal covenant!
There is no other way to God's mercy and forgiveness but through the blood of His Son!
His blood washes your sin away and that is the only acceptable way to God!
You can not be good enough!
You can not buy your way to forgiveness!
If you want to be forgiven, fall before Christ, admit your sin, admit you are in need of a Savior, repent, and be thankful that Christ was obedient to His Father's command!
Be obedient to God!


24 God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
25 For David says concerning him, "'I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken; 
26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; my flesh also will dwell in hope. 
27 For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, or let your Holy One see corruption.  - Acts 2:24-27

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. - John 10:11

11 Then he remembered the days of old, of Moses and his people. Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put in the midst of them his Holy Spirit, 
12 who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them to make for himself an everlasting name,  - Isaiah 63:11-12

26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27 but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.
28 Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses.
29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him who said, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay." And again, "The Lord will judge his people."
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings,
33 sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated.
34 For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. - Hebrews 10:26-34

11 As for you also, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. 
12 Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double.  - Zechariah 9:11-12

For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you.  - Isaiah 54:10
