As for me, although not baptise no first year college now after
it's enough during encounter young better point to be taken
baptise. This informed me during that
time. It's like a symbol for me,
declaring to the world, and perhaps even to the largest rise
that I belong to him. For I am committing myself to
the Lord no and so pablic profession saying to the world,
knowing who belongs saying. However, as I grow more in the
faith, in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and through the help of CRC as well, I came to know that
baptism somehow is not like that in the Mundo now belong naco

is the covenant, the Bunnylord declaring to us those who

Nothing and I am covenant isolating relationship.
In a covenant, two people come together in committed love and

We will do our best now other times so we have PowerPoints,
waters, covenant promise, second covenant obligation, covenant
curse and covenant blessing. So without further ado, let's go
to the first point. Covenant, promise.
Covenant is some special word for our faith in my long words
related to it. And the first of the first
Nebuna that we need to look with the covenant is the covenant
promise. A promise, very simply, is a
commitment for the future to let Gulam.
And then it's gonna be next Thursday, next Saturday gonna
end or next. Hahaha, great, small.
And so that's also a promise, the Bulgarian promise.
It's something that we commit in the future.
By promising something, we commit ourselves to acting in a
certain way. So when we do make a promise or
when we state a promise, we are committing union term,
committing to do something in the future and and God in his
covenant with us Diba like Bipasha Namanga Pan apple.

So Ganesha some example. Now I know covenant and yes the
Lord God has relationship with us and yes it's even a mutual
relationship. 2 sided relationship.
However, the whole thing for that relationship to happen is
his project. It doesn't originate from us, it
originated from Him and He is the one who orchestrated it.
Indeed, though God take the first step and then wonder where
it would go by in opena young grace that they were gonna give

didn't choose him, He chose us which are young, namely Satan.
The whole covenant is founded on what God is going to do without
his promises would be empty handed.
Absolutely. So we begin with his promises,
with his covenant love. The book of Deuteronomy has been

In fact, the Deuteronomy determining his second law

Well, promise you they. Let us be clear in our starting
point, in our first point, God's promise, what is it?
We depend on God's grace. We stand on the promises of God
because of what He's given us. We can live for worshipping His
name at gunpoint. First point deposition.
Adding ceremony next will be obligation in a second point of
obligation and as a form of baptism.
If you are reading your head or your Salter hymnal, channel
baptism and we will all usually see this statement.
Every covenant contains 2 parts, each promise and unobligated.
Son upon God is gracious, but he hates for His grace to be
rejected. He's merciful, but he doesn't
want his his mercy to be taken for granted.
Mawa inshah Pyongyang didn't take for granted.
And so God built into this relationship a second key
feature on his covenant, and it's called obligation.
I know I've been obligation. And then as we've read in
Deuteronomy chapter 30, the Lord covenant, the Lord's covenant
demands being out. And Bayonne, the Lord will
rejoice over you for good. What if you obey the voice of
the Lord your God to keep his commandments and his statutes,
which are written in this book of the law?
And if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with
all your soul. So versus 9 to ¥10.
But even if not in only a few verses later, what does it say?
I command you the day to love the Lord your God, to walk in
His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and
His judgments. Verse 16 Only one Adnan Puja,
Bermondsey Abbey GD That was Old Testament NASA New Testament,
not Tayo Diba. God doesn't expect his people to
live by laws and regulations keeping commandments that they
were trying to save their ships. What God wants now is faith and
love. You're in simple.
Oops, Pumunta Jan, because it might be, if I may use the word
of Elder Ed's steeper slope. Yes, Mr. Young Josh, in fact
even more emphatically than he did before.
God calls his New Testament people to live by faith alone
because by his life and death, it was Jesus who kept the
obligations of the covenant. He kept all of them without
fail. He did what we could not and
obey God's laws perfectly. Now Christ invites us to join
ourselves to Him by believing, so that all His many merits may
become our own. So it is by faith alone.
But what does faith do in the vagina?

how the disciples of Christ, ought to walk.
If that's Our Calling, then it's something to think about
carefully. The pupa How can we better keep
God's word? How can we fight against the
devil's insidious temptations and resist the world's constant
pressures? And how can we contend with our
own stubbornness? More than that, we should ask,
how can we more faithfully serve other people?
How can we walk closer to the Lord?
Because these are our obligations and we should think
about them in a serious way. Vote no, no Baptist style.
We were called to this kind of life, as the Catechism teaches,

That's the busy ball sign, but also distinguished by the manner
of our lives, which is the invisible part.
If you've been baptised, do you live as a child of God?
Do you stand apart as one devoted to the Lord?
And let me just remind all of that this is not about repaying
God's kindness. It's about bringing great honour
to God by showing ourselves to the children of the US, children
of the Father, good and gracious like He is, faithful and true
like He is, holy and pure like He is Mahaba.

Think how often the Lord Jesus warns that those who don't
repent of their sin will be shut out of God's Kingdom.
In fact, here's a really hard truth.
The punishment for those who break God's covenant is even
more severe. Jesus taught in Luke chapter 12
verse 48. From everyone who has been given
much, much will be demanded, and from the one who has been
entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
And take note, we've been given much as God's covenant people,
we have his word of promise, and we know of redemption through
Jesus Christ. Yet what we do with it?
So God demands much. He expects that we'll receive
His promise with glad and believing hearts.
He expects that we'll make it a priority to bring Him praise.
He expects that we'll cherish our baptism and become living
members of His church. And yes, Hindi Lang po seremony

If a person's stubbornly reject God's mercy, refuses to walk in
the way of the Lord's Word, the time comes when there's no more
reason to expect His mercy. In the book of Hebrews, the
Spirit says if a person has continually scorned the blood of
Christ, if a person has trampled the Son of God under foot,
there's no excuse for this rejection.
It says there is left no sacrifice for sins.
If you won't believe in Christ, the sin will remain on your
account and you will die unforgiven.

When we nurture our relationship with God, we can expect not just
blessing in this life, but peace and freedom forever, and the
knowledge that nothing can separate us from His love.
Moses presents it so simply to Israel.
I have set before you today life and good, death and evil.
He recalls the beautiful blessings, the terrible curses,

These are your options I have set before you life and death,

faithfulness is beyond question. But what about ours?
Will we walk with the Lord? Will we live with life with Him

Cling to Him, cling to our Lord, for He is your life, my life,
and our life. Pray with me, I'm more than our
God. We thank you for your word
delivered to us. Thank you for reminding us about
your covenant with us, its promises, its obligations, its
curses, and its blessings. While it may not be easy for us
to consume it fully, help us to trust in You truly.
Your words are sharper than two edged sword, piercing the
division of soul and spirit, of joints and of marrow, and
discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Grant us all, Lord, the strength that we need to fulfill your our
obligations, that solely because of our fear, they're also just
because of your promises and blessings, but because of your
steadfast love and faithfulness to us.
We thank you for your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who has kept
all the obligations of the covenant, and we thank you for
causing us to believe and putting our faith in Him so that
His merits may be our own solely.
It is because of Him that we can stand before You and that we can
obey and worship You. Give us a humble and contrite
heart. Continuously remind us that
whatever we do in Word, or indeed that we do it in the name
of the Lord Jesus, to give thanks to God the Father through
Him. This we pray and ask in the name
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.
