The success, of the Covenant

We need to understand that Adam’s blessing was in being obedient to God’s command of not eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Adam’s life was hidden in the tree of life, but our blessing is not hidden in the tree of life. Our blessing is hidden in Christ and walking in the fullness of Christ. 


Here we must know that the Old Covenant failed because it was a covenant between God and man. In other words, both the parties had to work and be faithful to the covenant. For the success of the covenant, God had to play the part and He kept His covenant and was faithful to it. But the problem was with men, who could not work out their holiness and consequently failed to keep the covenant.

However, under the New Covenant, it is possible to keep and maintain holiness, because, now God the Father did not make the covenant with a man but with His Own Son, who represented mankind. So, this covenant became successful because in this covenant both the parts were played by God Himself, following which mankind received the blessings.


Let us read 1 Corinthians 1:30, “It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God — that is, our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.”

Now let’s understand and appreciate the wisdom of God. The first man Adam fell down in sin and entire mankind fell short of the glory of God and was plunged into the ocean of sin because of his disobedience. But here, the Triune God chose Christ as our representative, who obeyed God fully. So, the Bible says Christ has become our righteousness, holiness, and redemption. Now it’s important for us to know from the depth of our heart that Adam and entire mankind were blessed because of their obedience or cursed because of their disobedience! But we are not blessed because of our obedience but rather we are blessed due to the obedience of Christ. Our first representative i.e., the first man Adam plunged us into the ocean of sin that is bad news; but the good news is that the last Adam i.e., Christ plunged us into the ocean of righteousness and blessings.

Romans 5:19 says, “For just as through the disobedience of one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one man the many will be made righteous.”

If we look at the verse carefully, we get to know we were plunged in the ocean of sin, not because of our sin but by the sin of our first representative, the first Adam, and exactly in the same way we are made righteous and holy not because of our works but because of the obedience of Christ. We are not sinners because we commit sin, but we commit sin because we are sinners.

From the above statement, it is very clear for us and we ought to understand that we have no part to play in our becoming sinners. We were immersed into it by our first representative i.e., Adam. In the same way, we have no part to play in our becoming holy — we are plunged into it by the last Adam — ‘Christ’.

In other words, first Adam plunged us into curse and death, the last Adam-Christ plunged us into blessings and life. The problem with the believers is we have not understood holiness. Every time we hear about ‘holiness’, we assume God, who is seated on the throne, judging us with a sword in His hand to cut us into pieces even at our slightest mistake.

But nobody has taught us that ‘the throne’ is ‘The Throne of Grace’ who Sympathizes in our Weaknesses as in Hebrews 4:16.

My Testimony - Apostle Winston Joseph, Ph. D

  Healed from Asthama Many years ago, I had asthma. It was a hereditary disease in my family and I witnessed one of my aunts who died because of it in a very dreadful situation. She was hanged upside down to ease her predicament. I had the same disease and there was a time in my life when I could not sit nor stand because of the illness. I could not breathe properly and sometimes I used to have excruciating pain at my back due to the that illness. Also, I had severe dust allergy, even if a little dust went into my nostrils, I would sneeze for a long time. But when I came to know that the Word is the truth and that the fact can be changed through the truth , I started to take hold of the Word and declare and decree it for days and days. Devil used to show me the fact that this disease is incurable. But I kept on declaring the truth i.e. the Word until I was totally healed and delivered from that disease. Now I know that I am born of the Spirit, walking in glory in divine health whi...

परमेश्वर मेरा प्रथम स्थान

                                भजन संहिता   १३९:१ हे यहोवा, तू ने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है। हे परमेश्वर, तूने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है इस अध्याय के, शुरुआत में भजनकार यह कहता है कि “ हे परमेश्वर, तूने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है,अर्थात परमेश्वर एक व्यक्ति को जाँचने के बाद ही जान लेता है’’|अब यहाँ पर सवाल यह उठता है कि परमेश्वर ऐसा क्यों करते है | जी हाँ, इस सवाल का जवाब काफी सरल है परमेश्वर एक व्यक्ति को इसलिए परखता है क्योंकि वह यह देखना चाहता है कि उस व्यक्ति का दिल “ परमेश्वर के प्रेम के प्रति है या नहीं ’’और ख़ासकर उस व्यक्ति के जीवन में उसका “प्रथम स्थान’’ है या नहीं | आपको एक बात हमेशा याद रखनी है कि आपको अपने पति, पत्नी, बच्चे या फिर धन — संपत्ति यानि सारी चीजों से बढ़कर और सबसे ऊँचा जो प्रेम करना है, वो परमेश्वर से प्रेम करना है | जैसे दाऊद राजा को परमेश्वर ने जाँच लिया था कि यह मेरे दिल के मुताबिक व्यक्ति है | परमेश्वर ने वाचा के अनुसार अब्राहम को बेटा दिया; जब उसकी उम्र सौ वर्ष की थी और बाद में उस बे...
