CovenantLesson 5

Walking Through the Pieces• Genesis 15 First illustration of one actually passing

through pieces of flesh• Setting: Abram is childless: Eliezer will be heir• Eliezer was of Damascus! God said one born from

his own body would be his heir (vs.4)• Gen. 15:5 Early morning?• Gen. 15:11 Daylight• Gen. 15:17 Evening• Gen. 15:16 Fourth generation is Moses

Galatians 3 and Romans 4• Gal. 3:8 God preached the gospel to Abraham• He believed the Lord and it was counted to him as

righteousness• Romans 4:1-3 Abraham was justified by faith – not

the Law

Jesus, the Sacrifice for Sins• Is there a walk between pieces of a sacrifice in the

New Covenant?• Mal. 3:1 Jesus is the Messenger of the Covenant• John 1:29,36 Jesus is the Lamb of God• I Cor. 5:7 Jesus is our Passover• Jesus, then, is the sacrifice of the Covenant• Matt. 25 and Luke 22 First day of Feast of

Unleavened Bread – the day of sacrifice• Matt. 27:45-51 The veil was torn in two• John 14:6 Jesus is THE way THE truth and THE

life.

Hebrews 10:19-20• His death made the way for people to walk through

to God• His body sacrificed was symbolically the veil torn

in two – halved – so believers can have a way to the Father. We walk through the veil of His flesh

• Our walk into death takes place at salvation• We hold back nothing, but surrender everything• Walk into death takes place• Matt. 10:34-39 Those worthy of Him put the

covenant relationship with Him above all else• Laying down one’s life is a death – to self

Death to Self• Luke 14:25-27 “Hate” is used to show comparison,

not an emotion, in the priority Jesus is to have• Galatians 2:20 In order to come into this new life,

death has to take place• This is salvation through the eyes of Covenant.• When salvation is understood in the light of

Covenant, then there is no place for easy-believism. • Our walk into death is simply coming to God with

nothing held back. It is a total death to self.
