The New Covenant Is A Bible Restoration Promise

By Joanna Walsh


When humankind disobeyed God at the Garden of Eden, God became angry and decided to punish Adam, Eve, and the generations that would come after them. There was nothing like Bible Restoration at that time because God was so angry that He did not have a second thought about forgiveness. The loving and kind King could not imagine nursing and entertaining disobedience and therefore, he had to punish the world.

The Word of God is quite a big book, and it is not just full of knowledge about God but also has great promises made to humankind. And from the time of Moses to the time of John the Revelator, God has been working in the lives of humankind to restore, bless and elevate them from glory to glory. There are so many instances in the Bible where God promises to restore His people.

He tried many ways to being the second generation after the flood at His feed. He wanted to be their father, their God, their glorious King who would lead them for a lifetime. The problem with humankind s continuous rebellion and the continuous possession of a forgetful mindset that makes them forget the good things and plans the Good Lord has.

The Good Lord was okay with this rebellion though. After all, it was difficult for any person to love by the law and at the same time live right before the sight of God for the simple reason that it was difficult to live by the law. And because human beings are weak and subject to sinning, there had to be a better way to connect human beings with God.

The way was never an easy thing to follow, and God saw that this was a difficult thing for humankind for sure. He knew that the only thing that humankind needed was love and grace, and this would happen in no any other way except through salvation. Moses told the people that God would bring a savior who would be their shepherd forever, and then he was no more.

Samson was quite a man of Godly strength, and though he messed up by mixing his mission with pleasures of the woman Delilah, God used him to protect His people. At this time, God restored peace to the His children, and took life away from those who made the world difficult for His children at the time. From that time henceforth, God has used David, Ezekiel, Daniel, Jeremiah and other prophets to bring restoration to the world.

Perhaps there is nothing grater like the biblical promise of the restoration of the relationship between God and humankind. This, if anything, is what would bring God and the people that He had created together again, and he would do this by giving his only one son, Jesus, as a sacrifice. Jesus came, died for the sins of mankind and redeemed every person back to God.

Today, Christians are waiting for the big day; the day when they will be taken from the earth to spend eternity with God n the Kingdom of heaven. The bible says it is soon, but no one knows the time or the season. The only thing anyone knows is that God and humankind are now friends.
