Jesus is Right Now every believers New Covenant High Priest =Mediator & Advocate between God & man

Luke 22:20 And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup, which is poured out for you, is the new covenant [ratified] in My blood.
(MY NOTE: Jesus sin atoning payment began a new covenant replacing the old. Christ's resurrection is proof God accepted Christ's sin atoning payment)

Heb 7:
11 Now if perfection [a perfect fellowship between God and the worshiper] had been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people were given the Law) what further need was there for another and different kind of priest to arise, one in the manner of Melchizedek, rather than one appointed to the order of Aaron?
(MY NOTE: Jesus retired the Mosaic covenant priesthood here: Matt 27:51)

12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is of necessity a change of the law as well.
(MY NOTE: A change in priesthood necessitate a change in law implementation.)

17 For it is attested [by God] of Him, “You (Christ) are a Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”
(MY NOTE: Christ's Priesthood is Eternal)

22 And so [because of the oath’s greater strength and force] Jesus has become the certain guarantee of a better covenant [a more excellent and more advantageous agreement; one that will never be replaced or annulled].
(MY NOTE: Jesus is RIGHT NOW! High Priest (mediator between God & man) Forever! He administers a New Better sin administration & a New Better law administration covenant. (Reread vs 12 above)

Hebrews 8:6 - But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
(MY NOTE: Jesus has ALREAD obtained & ALREADY mediates a New BETTER covenant (then Mosaic) Jesus eternal Melchizedek covenant is established upon BETTER promises.)

Heb 9:15 For this reason He is the Mediator and Negotiator of a new covenant [that is, an entirely new agreement uniting God and man], so that those who have been called [by God] may receive [the fulfillment of] the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has taken place [as the payment] which redeems them from the sins committed under the obsolete first covenant.
(MY NOTE: Faith in Christs new covenant sin sacrifice & resurrection ETERNALLY REDEEMS the believer from the condemnation/judgment imposed under the NOW OBSOLETE old/1st Mosaic covenant)

It's time to place the Mosaic covenant on the ash pile of history where Jesus death & resurrection retired it to:

Matt 27:51 And [at once] the veil [of the Holy of Holies] of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; the earth shook and the rocks were split apart.
(MY NOTE: Jesus death tears Temple veil in 1/2 (this veil separated sinful man from a Holy God's presents). Next, the New ETERNAL Melchizedek Priesthood covenant begins in resurrection power 3 days later. It's 1st implementation is seen here:

Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out [clearly and appropriately].

It was here the Holy Spirit of God indwelt believers = New Melchizedek Priesthood Covenant. God's presents no longer dwells in a Tabernacle or Temple inner sanctuary/Holy of Holies (Mosaic covenant) made with human hands.)

Every REDEEMED believers is NOW a Temple where a Holy God's Spirit forever indwells. Once indwelt/baptized with Christ's Holy Spirit. The believers eternal fate is securely SEALED (Eph 4:30, 2 Cor 1:22, 5:5, 2 Tim 1:14, Jn 10:28-29, Rom 8:35-39) Amen

Yes, Thanks to the perfect Atonement. Interesting how He can be the Mediator to God and actually be God as well. It is a wonderful mystery that is hard to wrap my head around.:)

Actually, don’t destroy the old covenant....it’s what Jesus Christ FULFILLED for every Believer.

Jesus did NOT take any part of The Law away, HE FULFILLED ALL OF IT FOR US.

The Law served it’s purpose..... basically pronounced judgments against ALL mankind for disobedience - Every human ever born on the Earth is condemned by The Law; however, Jesus Christ fulfilled ALL punishment and ALL obedience to The Law.

The punishment of disobedience to The Law was fulfilled with His Blood and The Impartation of fulfilling The Law was given us with His Body.....

We are reconciled back to our Heavenly Father by The Blood and Body of Jesus Christ, amen.
:love:(y)

Hello Lafftur,

I'd like to address our difference in your 1st 2 sentence's, the rest of your post, I agree with.

No Mosaic law doesn't mean NO law. Adam broke heavens rule & paid a stiff price. Under the New Covenant Love & Faith are the pillars of it's spiritual laws.

Col 2:
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
(MY NOTE: The handwriting of ordinances that Christ's sin atonement Blotted out. Are the foundation of Mosaic law, once removed the law collapses. 2ndy vs 13 > having forgiven you ALL trespasses/sins. Mosaic law only covered sin, no one under it's rule (to include Moses) sins were forgiven until the ultimate Better sin payment was made.)

Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
(MY NOTE: Christ is mediator of a New Better testament/covenant. It brings redemption/forgiveness/salvation. Not only could the old/obsolete Mosaic NOT save, it's laws punished sin without mercy)

Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
(MY NOTE: Mosaic laws were physical/temporal law. A shadow of the indwelling Spiritual law NOW & FOREVER in place. The dividing point between old/obsolete physical/temporal covenant & New Eternal Spiritual Covenant is Jesus death, burial & resurrection.)

Heb 7:
11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
(MY NOTE: Carnal Levitical priesthood given under Mosaic law. Changed forever under New Better Spiritual Christ centered covenant)

Your post correctly (I believe) proclaimed. All humans are sinners & owe sins wage/price DEATH. A sinless Christ took our due judgment, paid humanity's blood owed debt. And anyone that understands, excepts & trust in Jesus redemptive work. Will receive complete sin forgiveness/reconciliation/salvation & the gifts of His righteousness & eternal life in the presents of Christ our Creator)

I still believe it's time to leave the old retired/replaced/obsolete Mosaic covenant, where Jesus place it. The physical/temporal ash pile of history. May His grace be multiplied to you & yours. JJ

It's easier to wrap our heads around when we see the blood is his life we're sprinkled with. He's the sacrifice, the High Priest and God.
