Hebrews 7:11-19
A BETTER HOPE
For the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. Hebrews 7:19, NKJV
The New Covenant was obtained for us through the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This covenant provides divine ability to overcome sins, to deny and crucify self daily and to obey God in all righteousness (John 14:23; 1 John 3:24).
This better hope is achievable because it is not about what a man can do, but what Christ has done. The law was about the ability of man to please God, while grace (the better hope) is about the ability of Christ in man to please God.
Thus, the better hope is the ability of Christ in man to live above sin and the flesh.
The truth is, the Mosaic Laws were imperfect and impotent to help those guided by them to overcome sin. That was why God decided to bring grace through Christ.
To enjoy a better hope of the New Covenant in Jesus, all you need to do is to receive Christ into your life. This better hope is your ticket to a better life.
