TPT: "When Abram was ninety-nine years
old, Yahweh appeared to him again and said, 'I am the God who
is more than enough. Live your life in my presence and be
blameless. I will confirm my covenant between me and you and I
will greatly multiply your descendants.' Abram fell facedown
in awe before the Lord, and God said to him, 'I will establish
my covenant between me and you, and I will multiply you
exceedingly. You will become the father of many nations. No
longer will you be named Abram, but your new name will be
Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.'"
Rationale: This passage marks the
beginning of God's covenant with Abraham, foundational to the
biblical narrative of God's promises to His people.
Copilot2
Hebrews 8:6-13
Contribution: Describes Jesus as the
mediator of a better covenant, established on better promises.
TPT: "But now Jesus the Messiah has
accepted a priestly ministry which far surpasses theirs, since
he is the catalyst of a better covenant which contains far
more wonderful promises! For if that first covenant had been
faultless, no one would have needed a second one to replace
it. But God revealed the defect and limitation of the first
when he said to his people, 'Look! The day will come,'
declares the Lord, 'when I will satisfy the people of Israel
and Judah by giving them a new covenant. It will be an
entirely different covenant than the one I made with their
fathers when I led them by my hand out of Egypt. For they did
not remain faithful to my covenant, so I rejected them,' says
the Lord God. 'For here is the covenant I will one day
establish with the people of Israel: I will embed my laws
within their thoughts and fasten them onto their hearts. I
will be their loyal God and they will be my loyal people. And
the result will be that everyone will know me as Lord! There
will be no need at all to teach their fellow-citizens or
brothers by saying, “You should know Yahweh,” since everyone
will know me inwardly, from the most unlikely to the most
distinguished. For I will demonstrate mercy to them and will
forgive their evil deeds, and never remember again their
sins.' This proves that by establishing this new covenant, the
first is now obsolete, ready to expire, and about to
disappear."
Rationale: This passage emphasizes the
superiority of the new covenant mediated by Jesus,
highlighting its better promises and internalization of God's
laws.
Copilot1
Jeremiah 31:31-34
Contribution: Prophesies the new
covenant where God will write His law on the hearts of His
people.
TPT: "The day is coming,” says the
Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of
Israel and Judah. It will not be like the old covenant that I
made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and
brought them out of Egypt. They broke that covenant, though I
loved them as a husband loves his wife,” says the Lord. “But
this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel
on that day,” says the Lord. “I will put my instructions deep
within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be
their God, and they will be my people. And they will not need
to teach their neighbours, nor will they need to teach their
relatives, saying, ‘You should know the Lord.’ For everyone,
from the least to the greatest, will know me already,” says
the Lord. “And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will
never again remember their sins.”
Rationale: This passage highlights the
transformative nature of the new covenant, emphasizing
internal change and personal relationship with God.
