Look at the cartoon below. Why have all the Covenants so far been

difficult to keep?

• To explain the promises & demands of God’s Covenant through Jesus

• To compare it Jesus’ Covenant with the other Covenants

In God’s Covenant through Jesus, we still need to keep God’s laws and walk in faith, not sinning.

But in Jesus’ Covenant we can be forgiven if we break the Commandments, and so we can still have eternal life in heaven.

We also get given Jesus’ spirit , to help us keep the Commandments and live a blameless life.
