Promises of the New Covenant of God

Some of the promises of Jesus, author of the new covenant who paid for it and founded it with His blood on the cross. A covenant without curse.

“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never live in darkness. They will have the light that gives life.”

“If you continue to accept and obey my teaching, you are really my followers. You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

"...But a son belongs to the family forever. So if the Son makes you free, you are really free"

"I can assure you that whoever believes in me will do the same things I have done. And they will do even greater things than I have done, because I am going to the Father. And if you ask for anything in my name, I will do it for you. Then the Father’s glory will be shown through the Son. If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it."

“If you love me, you will do what I command. I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper to be with you forever. The Helper is the Spirit of truth. The people of the world cannot accept him, because they don’t see him or know him. But you know him. He lives with you, and he will be in you."

"...the people in the world will not see me anymore. But you will see me. You will live because I live. On that day you will know that I am in the Father. You will know that you are in me and I am in you. Those who really love me are the ones who not only know my commands but also obey them. My Father will love such people, and I will love them. I will make myself known to them.”

“All who love me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them. My Father and I will come to them and live with them. But anyone who does not love me does not obey my teaching. This teaching that you hear is not really mine. It is from my Father who sent me."
