What Does Jeremiah 31:31 Mean
Verse of the Day ▼ Devotions ▼ Search Home Verse Of The Day Jeremiah 31:31 ◄ What Does Jeremiah 31:31 Mean? ► “Behold, days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, Jeremiah 31:31(NASB) Verse Thoughts Jeremiah was the prophet, who wept when he witnessed the downfall of Jerusalem, and the destruction of the temple. Warnings of apostasy flow through his writings, and he is the one who labelled the great tribulation, ‘the Time Jacob’s trouble’. He was also one of many prophets who spoke of Israel’s restoration to the land. He prophesied that the captives of his people would be regathered back to their homeland. He spoke of the time when the country would be restored, and God would make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. “Behold, days are coming,’ declared the Lord, through the mouth of Jeremiah, ‘that I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah’. Following the kingship of David and Solomon, the nation of Israel was divided, into northern and southern segments. But a day is coming when these divided kingdoms will be reunited, and God’s New Covenant with His chosen nation will be confirmed and ratified. At the time of this prophecy, the northern Kingdom of Israel, had already been conquered and dispersed by the Assyrians, and Jeremiah’s painful prophecy, spoke of the fast approaching Babylonian occupation of the southern Kingdom of Judah. As His chosen nation, Israel had made a conditional treaty with the Lord, at Sinai. They had promised to obey all that God said, and the Lord promised blessings for obedience, but curses for disobedience. The Old Covenant, given through Moses, was sealed with the blood of several oxen… however, the nation had strayed far away from the agreed terms of their treaty with God, Who was obliged to carry out His sworn punishment, on His errant nation. Jeremiah’s prophetic writings, however, placed hope in the heart of the little faithful remnant, for the Lord promised to make a New Covenant with a united Israel. It was God’s intension to unify the two disconnected kingdoms once again, and bring them back to being ONE nation under the authority of God’s anointed King, Whom we know to be – Jesus. God’s New Covenant with Israel was cut at Calvary. Unlike the Old Covenant it was not sealed with the blood of bulls and goats. There were no condition that Israel had to meet. The New Covenant that God made with His people was an unconditional covenant, and God made it through the precious blood of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Father. The Old, conditional Covenant, required Israel to keep God’s Law, but the New unconditional Covenant required nothing from Israel, except faith in God and Jesus Christ, Whom He sent. As members of Christ’s body, in this church dispensation, we have been wonderfully blessed by this New Covenant, which God gave to His people, Israel. Indeed, we have become ministers of God’s New Covenant, and are recipients of the multiplied blessings that come on all who believe on the name of Jesus.. by faith. God’s New Covenant, which He made with the united kingdoms of Israel and Judah, have brought on the gentile nations, great blessings, for it is the Lord, Who has reconciled US to Himself, by the blood of Jesus Christ, and has given to US the ministry of reconciliation, during this dispensation of the age of grace. Although the New Covenant was cut in Christ’s blood, it has yet to be fully and finally ratified, with Israel.. however, the time is coming when the New Covenant, which was cut at Calvary, will be fully confirmed – when Israel as a nation will call on the name of the Lord for salvation. They will look on Him Whom they pierced, recognise Jesus as their Messiah King – and together will cry out in praise and thanksgiving: blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord. The Old Covenant, which was conditional on Israel keeping the Law, was replaced at the CROSS with a new and better covenant, which was cut with the blood of God’s only begotten Son. This New Covenant is unconditional, and stands on God’s WORD – by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone as recorded in the Word of God – alone. My Prayer Heavenly Father, what a great and awesome God You are. Your faithfulness to Your people Israel, and the promises You have given them are beyond our understanding. Thank You that Jesus came to earth as the Messiah of Israel and Saviour of the gentile world.. and that through faith in Him, I have become Your child. Remove the blinkers from the eyes of Your chosen people, through Whom was born my own, precious Saviour, Who died for my sins and rose again – so that I too may rise into life immortal. We look forward to the day when Your New Covenant with the united kingdoms of Israel and Judah will be fully and finally ratified – when the earth will be subjected to Christ’s kingdom of righteousness and justice. Thank You in Jesus name AMEN. ◄ Previous: Jeremiah 31:15 Next: Jeremiah 33:3 ► Choose a Verse from Jeremiah 31 12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637383940 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Joshua 23:14 Luke 6:27 Job 42:5 Follow us Jeremiah 31:31 Further Study Jeremiah 31:31 in the Parallel Bible Jeremiah 31:31 in the Thematic Bible Jeremiah 31:31 Cross References Jeremiah 31:31 Treasury of Scripture Knowing Jeremiah 31:31 Sermons Jeremiah 31:31 Prayers Jeremiah 31:31 Images Jeremiah 31:31 Devotionals Choose Chapter Subscribe to the Verse of the day Today’s Devotionals The Essential Nature of the Christian Romans 1:1 Psalm 16:7 Selfless Service The Habit Of Wealth His Threefold Name – Man’s Nature and Destiny (8) Clean Vessels Doctrinal Statement / Privacy Policy / Use of Pictures / Donate / Contact Us Copyright Knowing-Jesus.com – All Rights Reserved
What Does Zephaniah 2:3
Verse of the Day ▼ Devotions ▼ Search Home Verse Of The Day Zephaniah 2:3 ◄ What Does Zephaniah 2:3 Mean? ► Seek the LORD, All you humble of the earth Who have carried out His ordinances; Seek righteousness, seek humility Perhaps you will be hidden In the day of the LORD’S anger. Zephaniah 2:3(NASB) Verse Thoughts It was to the prophet Zephaniah that God revealed His determination.. to not only execute judgement upon the whole earth, but also upon His own apostate nation of Israel. Zephaniah not only heard how the terrors of God’s wrath were to destroy the idolatrous Philistines, Moabites, Ammonites, Ethiopians, Assyrians, and other pagan people.. including the city of Nineveh, who had repented of their sins in the time of Jonah – but he warned that God’ righteous judgement would also fall upon Judah and Jerusalem, who had followed after the idolatrous ways of their heathen neighbours. For centuries, holy men of God had beseeched the errant nation of Israel to turn from their wicked ways, and to repent of their sins. They had continuously broken the conditions of their covenant with God, which meant that the Lord was soon to punish His people, because He not only promised blessings for their obedience, but cursing, punishment, dispersion and a catalogue of catastrophes, because of their defiant rebellion. Nevertheless, the Lord is gracious and long-suffering towards His people, and exhorted them to turn from their wicked ways, before the fierce wrath of the Lord came upon them. Zephaniah urged the shameful nation to gather themselves together, before the Lord’s righteous decree would be carried out – they were admonished to turn from their wicked ways. But the Lord also recognised that within the apostate nation, there was a righteous remnant, who were also encouraged to seek the Lord, before His judgement would take effect, so that they might be saved from the wrath to come. Seek the Lord, all you humble of the earth, Zephaniah pleaded with the remnant flock of Israel. Seek the Lord, all you righteous ones, who have carried out His ordinances. Seek after righteousness and humility of heart, was the prophets urgent pleading, and perhaps you will be hidden in the day of the Lord’s anger. Throughout the history of the nation of Israel, there have always been those that have lived by faith and trusted the Word of the Lord. There has always been a small remnant of men and women, like Joseph, Joshua, Ruth, Esther, David, Isaiah, Daniel and Zephaniah – who trusted the Lord and believed His word. Indeed, there was a small remnant of Jewish believers during Christ’s earthly ministry, and in the early days of the Church, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ and were saved – and today, during this Christian dispensation, there is still a small remnant of Jewish people, whose eyes have been opened to the truth of the gospel of grace.. and who believe that Jesus is the Messiah of Israel, and Son of the living God. This remnant of Church-age, Jewish believers, who have trusted in Christ’s death, burial and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting.. is a small remnant. Although few in number, there has always been a remnant of Israel, that has remained faithful to the God of their fathers. There has always been a tiny remnant of Israel who have sought the Lord in humility of heart, carried out His ordinances.. and trusted His Word. Indeed, there are those that consider this verse, in Zephaniah, could be a concealed allusion to the rapture of Church age believers- and specifically the little remnant of Jewish believers, who would trust in their Messiah, during the times of the Gentiles – and throughout the Church age. As part of the one new man in Christ and members of His mystic body, the Church – where there is neither Jew nor Gentile… this tiny remnant of Jewish believers, who have trusted Christ during the current church age, could be the ones to whom this verse is alluding – for this is a scripture that was addressed, specifically to the people of Israel, and not to the wider body of believers in the Christian dispensation. Although the One-New-Man-In-Christ, and the rapture of the Church was a mystery that was hidden from Old Testament prophets and pre-cross generations of believers, and although it was revealed to Church-age saints, through the apostle Paul, there has always been a small remnant of Jewish believers in the Messiah, in every generation – because the Word of God has decreed it to be so. My Prayer Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word of truth and for the nation of Israel, through whom came the promised Seed – the Lord Jesus, our promised Saviour and God. We thank You that there has always been a small remnant of Israel, who never doubted Your words and through whose faithfulness we received the holy Scriptures, and were taught the truth of the gospel of grace. Thank You that none of Your blood-bought children will have to face the wrath of God in the coming time of great tribulation, but that we are hidden in Christ, and are not appointed to suffer Your wrath. May we live and work for Your praise and glory, and we pray that many Jews and Gentiles, who have not yet trusted in Christ, will come to faith in the days ahead, and escape the wrath that is to come – This we ask in Jesus name, AMEN. ◄ Previous: Zephaniah 1:18 Next: Zephaniah 2:8 ► Choose a Verse from Zephaniah 2 123456789101112131415 Jeremiah 31:31 2 Thessalonians 3:13 Deuteronomy 4:31 Philippians 2:11 Follow us Zephaniah 2:3 Further Study Zephaniah 2:3 in the Parallel Bible Zephaniah 2:3 in the Thematic Bible Zephaniah 2:3 Cross References Zephaniah 2:3 Treasury of Scripture Knowing Zephaniah 2:3 Sermons Zephaniah 2:3 Prayers Zephaniah 2:3 Images Choose Chapter Subscribe to the Verse of the day Today’s Devotionals The Essential Nature of the Christian Romans 1:1 Psalm 16:7 Selfless Service The Habit Of Wealth His Threefold Name – Man’s Nature and Destiny (8) Clean Vessels Doctrinal Statement / Privacy Policy / Use of Pictures / Donate / Contact Us Copyright Knowing-Jesus.com – All Rights Reserved
What Does Revelation 5:7Mean?
Verse of the Day ▼ Devotions ▼ Search Home Verse Of The Day Revelation 5:7 ◄ What Does Revelation 5:7 Mean? ► And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. Revelation 5:7(NASB) Verse Thoughts John is given a glimpse of the heavenly throne-room of the great God of the universe, Who held the seven-sealed scroll in His right hand. John instinctively knew that unless this scroll was opened, and the seven seals broken, God could neither complete His plans and purposes for mankind nor absolve Himself from Satan’s accusations – and so the distraught apostle wept bitterly, for there was no man that was worthy to open the scroll or even to look at it. But one of the elders cried, “Stop weeping! Behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome. He will open the book and unseal its seven seals”. It was as John’s misty eyes began to clear that he looked and saw JESUS, the Messiah before him. He appeared as a vulnerable, little Lamb, that had been slaughtered, and He was standing between the throne and the four living creatures – in the midst of the elders. A Lamb, not only represents humility and gentleness, but also sacrificial love. This little Lamb appeared as if it had just been slain because it retained the bloody marks of sacrifice. And yet, it had seven horns, that spoke of omnipotent strength and heroic spirit. And it had seven eyes, which denoted omniscient knowledge and all-knowing understanding. He was of the lineage of David and He was a root of Jesse. He alone was worthy to open the seven-sealed scroll, for He was both a member of the eternal Godhead and the one, perfect member of humanity. No created being, either angelic or human, was found worthy to take the scroll and to break its seven seals. No one was worthy to win back the creation for the Lord God. No one had the character, credentials, authority, or ability to open the scroll, which would dictate the course of creation and affect the lives of every created being. Only the Lamb of God was worthy to open the scroll – only the eternal Son, Who set aside His glory and was born into the human race to die for me and you, was worthy to open the scroll. The Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world, was crucified 2000 years ago. But He rose from the dead and is the same Lamb that John saw in the midst of the throne of God, Who displayed His marks of sacrifice. He is the Lamb Who paid the price of sin for all who believe on His name and He alone took the punishment that we deserve when He died on the cross to in our place, so that we would not be appointed to God’s wrath. The judgement of our sin was laid on Him, and by faith, we have been declared righteous in the eyes of the Father. By grace, through faith, we will not face the wrath that must be poured out on a God-hating, Christ-rejecting, sinful world. However, the Lamb Who died on the cross, also sits on the throne, and is worthy to unseal the scroll, which will open the flood-gates of God’s justified judgement on a world that rejected His offer of reconciliation and a people, who refused to believe on the name of His only begotten Son – for the salvation of their soul. John tells us that “He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him Who sat on the throne.” No surprise that the entire heavenly company began to worship and adore Him, for justice was about to be meted-out on God’s enemies, after six thousand years of angelic conflict. And as we glimpse forward into chapter 6, we know that the breaking of the first seal will bring the rider of a white horse onto the world scene – as the opening scenario in the great, and dreadful Day of the Lord – redemption’s final act. Zephaniah tells us it will be a day of wrath; a day of trouble and distress; a day of destruction and desolation; a day of darkness and gloom; a day of clouds and thick darkness and a day of trumpet and battle cry, against the fortified cities, and the high towers. Isaiah describes it as cruel day, with fury and burning anger, which will make the land a desolation. It is a time when God will exterminate sinners from the earth – a time when the stars of heaven and their constellations will not flash forth their light – the sun will be dark when it rises and the moon will not shed its light. And God will punish the world for its evil, and judge the wicked for their iniquity. He will also put an end to the arrogance of the proud and abase the haughtiness of the ruthless. No one knows the exact time when the Lamb will take the book from the right hand of Him, Who sits on the throne and opens the seven-sealed scroll. No one knows the day and hour when God’s plans and purposes will start to be executed, as the Lamb breaks the first seal. But in his vision of the future, John witnessed the opening moments of the coming Day of the Lord, which will start with 7 terrible years of tribulation and will conclude with 1000 years of peace and prosperity, when the earth will be filled with the glory of God and Christ Jesus will rule as King of kings and Lord of lords. My Prayer Heavenly Father, what a great and mighty God You are, and what magnificent plans You have purposed to bring all things to completion. Help me to develop an attitude of gratitude for all that You have purposed for me and for all who love You. You are a good and loving Father Who never changes, and whose promises stand fast forever and ever. May I never forget all the things that You have done; the things You are doing, and the things that have been purposed in the days ahead. Use me in the closing days of this Church age for Your praise and glory, this I ask in Jesus’ name we pray. AMEN. ◄ Previous: Revelation 5:6 Next: Revelation 5:9 ► Choose a Verse from Revelation 5 1234567891011121314 Zephaniah 2:3 Romans 5:3 1 Chronicles 7:14 Romans 2:11 Follow us Revelation 5:7 Further Study Revelation 5:7 in the Parallel Bible Revelation 5:7 in the Thematic Bible Revelation 5:7 Cross References Revelation 5:7 Treasury of Scripture Knowing Revelation 5:7 Sermons Revelation 5:7 Prayers Revelation 5:7 Images Choose Chapter Subscribe to the Verse of the day Today’s Devotionals The Essential Nature of the Christian Romans 1:1 Psalm 16:7 Selfless Service The Habit Of Wealth His Threefold Name – Man’s Nature and Destiny (8) Clean Vessels Doctrinal Statement / Privacy Policy / Use of Pictures / Donate / Contact Us Copyright Knowing-Jesus.com – All Rights Reserved
Wholehearted
Living Light Daily Devotional Wholehearted By Touching Lives with Dr. James Merritt “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we could ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21 Why is it so hard to find the right mate? There was once a young lady talking to her boyfriend and she said, “Why doesn’t your mother like me?” The young man said, “Don’t take that personally. She’s never liked anyone I’ve dated.” The girlfriend said, “Really?” He said, “I dated someone one time that was exactly like my mother in every way you could imagine. She looked like her, talked like her, walked like her, and they even had the same handwriting. It was a disaster!” The girlfriend said, “Wow! What happened?” He said, “My father couldn’t stand her.” In reality, choosing a mate is no laughing matter. Even if you think you have found the right person they probably are not going to stay the right person because they are going to change…and so are you. The person you thought was perfectly compatible when you married them turns out to be neither perfect nor totally compatible. A leading expert on sociology said this: “We never know whom we marry; we just think we do…The person you are married to today will not be the person you are married to tomorrow.” This sounds like it belongs on the “List of Reasons to Never Get Married.” But it does not. Instead, it belongs on the “List of Reasons to Seek Christ and Not a Mate.” You see only God can see the end from the beginning. And the good news is that no one desires for you to have a happy, fulfilling marriage more than God. After all, He is the One who designed marriage, to begin with. Who better to bring two people together in marriage than Him? God wants every couple to live happily ever after. But we must realize that God’s happily ever after does not look like the world’s fairytales. God desires marriages that honor Him, and show the world His character. This will require sacrifice, forgiveness, and humility from both partners. Happily ever after won’t necessarily mean that you will never face issues such as financial problems, dishonesty, profound loss/grief, and even infidelity. But when we surrender ourselves to Christ as husbands and wives, He can do more with our marriages than we could ever ask or imagine. He can heal the deepest wounds, bind the deepest heartbreak, and bring beauty from the most hopeless of ashes. With God, all things are possible. Wherever you find yourself today, know that God’s desire is that your marriage, or future marriage, be joy-filled and Christ-glorifying. The best way to be blessed in your relationship is to seek Christ with all that you are. It is then that He can turn your marriage into something spectacular. Dear Jesus, you are all I desire because I believe with all my heart that you want nothing but the best for me. No matter what the world around me is like, I will keep my eyes on you and always remember that you died for me and you stand ready to welcome me on the day I pass from this earth to see you face-to-face.

What Does John 20:29 Mean?
Verse of the Day ▼ Devotions ▼ Search Home Verse Of The Day John 20:29 ◄ What Does John 20:29 Mean? ► Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.” John 20:29(NASB) Verse Thoughts So often we refer to the son of Didymus as ‘doubting Thomas’, yet when Christ’s other disciples expressed a reluctance to go to Jerusalem for fear of the Jews, it was Thomas who, cried out, “Let us also go, that we may die with Him”. Thomas was also the disciple who prompted the Lord to say, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”… when he questioned Him, by saying, “Lord, we do not know where You are going. “How can we know the way?” There is no doubt, that Thomas was a redeemed man who believed in the risen Lord Jesus and was a pillar of the early Church. He worshipped his Saviour as ‘my Lord and my God’ – but only after he had seen that Jesus was alive from the dead. Like all the other disciples Thomas forsook Him in the garden and fled when Jesus was arrested. And like the others, who grieved at His crucifixion, he allowed despair to overwhelm him, to such an extent, that he vowed – “Except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe!” Thomas was not the fool who says in his heart, “there is no God”. He was not the rebellious man, with ‘a reprobate mind’, as described in Roman’s ch.1. Thomas loved the Lord desperately, but allowed human reasoning to eclipse the truth. He permitted unbelief to cloud his faith. Thomas, like so many today, yearned that his human senses would secure the deep desire of his heart. So many today long for a voice or vision to supplement their faith.. they desire a supernatural sign or a special revelation to safeguard their trust in God. But we are to live by faith and not by sight. We are to live by faith and not by signs. We are to live by faith and not because of some alternative system that supports our faith. Thomas’ hope in Christ was reignited, and he believed in the Lord Jesus Christ because he saw Him with his own eyes and worshipped Him when He came and stood among His followers in the upper room. But the Lord gently scolded this chosen apostle, who had been with Him throughout His earthly ministry, with the words: ‘because you have seen Me, you have believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.’ One week earlier, Christ’s other followers were invited to come and touch His body, to see their risen Saviour was not a ghost… so that their faith in Him would similarly be rekindled and inflamed. On both occasions, to a lesser or greater degree, trust was triggered and faith was stimulated through one or more of our God-given physical senses. But this is not how it should have been, for we are to live by faith and not sight. Faith is the evidence of things we do NOT see or touch or hear! Whatever value we place on bodily senses or emotional awareness to stimulate and inform us, God’s greater commendation and divine approbation is given to the one who is not influenced by physical senses, human emotions or life’s circumstances… but who simply trusts His Word – “blessed are they that have NOT seen, and yet have believed”. The experience Thomas went through, eight days later, when the disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them, was written for OUR learning as well as for his – for even though the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them, and said, “Peace be with you.” and said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Take your hand, and put it into my side. Then Jesus told him, ” because you’ve seen Me that you have believed. How blessed are those who have never seen Me and yet have believed. The approval and blessing of God is on the one that has faith in His Son, trusts His Word of truth, and believes the Holy Scriptures. We are to live by faith, not by sight or sense or situations. We are to live by trusting God’s word and believing His promises and not because of what we see or what we feel – and there is a special promise for those who have not seen the risen, ascended, glorified Lord Jesus but have believed on Him. Thomas made three very bold and bolshie announcements when he was told of Christ’s resurrection. UNLESS I shall see in His hands the print of the nails; UNLESS I put my finger into the print of the nails, and UNLESS thrust my hand into His side, I WILL NOT BELIEVE. Yet we do not hear that he handled the Lord and poked the wounds in His hands, feet, and side. Instead, we discover his faith is reignited as he pronounced a most earth-shattering declaration – for Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Although God knows that trust may be triggered by our senses, emotions, and daily living, He also knows those things can as easily be shattered into a thousand tiny fragments and sifted like wheat by Satan, if faith is not securely anchored to Christ as fact. No wonder the Lord Jesus in this gentle chiding of His dearly loved disciple, who had walked with Him for three long years, was to explain the secure and better way – blessed are those that have not seen Me, and yet have believed in Me, for they will not be disappointed. There may be times we wished we had lived in the days of the apostles and SEEN the Lord with our own eye, and felt His gentle touch, but how blessed are we who have not seen Him in the physical realm but have SEEN Him with the spiritual eye of faith and are still able to cry as did Thomas, my Lord, and my God. My Prayer Thank You Father for opening my spiritual eyes of faith to see You and the lovely Lord Jesus, Who died for me. I pray that I will not rely on senses or emotions to inform me of Your love and grace, but that as I set my minds-eye on the truth of Your Word. May I grow in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus, so that You can use me as a messenger to proclaim Him as my Lord and my God, in Jesus’ name, AMEN. ◄ Previous: John 20:28 Next: John 20:31 ► Choose a Verse from John 20 12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031 John 12:46 1 Timothy 6:10 Ecclesiastes 9:18 Psalm 66:5 Follow us John 20:29 Further Study John 20:29 in the Parallel Bible John 20:29 in the Thematic Bible John 20:29 Cross References John 20:29 Treasury of Scripture Knowing John 20:29 Sermons John 20:29 Prayers John 20:29 Images John 20:29 Devotionals Choose Chapter Subscribe to the Verse of the day Today’s Devotionals Pride and Its Undoing Revelation 21:4 Ephesians 2:6 The First Cause The Habit Of Rising To The Occasion Service to God, Standards of Good – Man’s Nature and Destiny (7) God Is Speaking Doctrinal Statement / Privacy Policy / Use of Pictures / Donate / Contact Us Copyright Knowing-Jesus.com – All Rights Reserved
