I know for us (man) to be fully in relationship with Christ, we must die to self. When we have unrepentant sin in our life, that is a wall up between us and God.

He had to die on the cross and we have to die to self. An interesting exchange. His life for our life, but nevertheless our life for a new life purchased by his blood. What a wondrous covenant.

"For where a covenant is, there must be of necessity be the death of the testator (the one who made it). For a covenant is valid only when men have died, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives." Hebrews 9:16-17

Does that mean that in order for there to be a covenant between God and man, God must die? Does that mean that every covenant that God established was made valid by the death of Jesus on the cross?

What do you think?

Hi charisenexcelcis,
Hebrews10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified." NIV
I understand this as One only offering (for ever)
All (before and after) that are sanctified.
