Do You Have a Covenant With God?
What is the covenant that you and God have with each other?Yes, it's the New Covenant...
Matthew 26:28If so what is it?
what version of the bible do you use?τό αἷμα μου τῆς διαθήκης, my blood by the shedding of which the covenant is established, Matthew 26:28
I use several including the references at Bible Hub and Scripture4All - Greek/Hebrew interlinear Bible software.what version of the bible do you use?
I use swordsearcher.com I have since 1996 but basically just use the JKV only bible in the world sealed by a king.I use several including the references at Bible Hub and Scripture4All - Greek/Hebrew interlinear Bible software.
In my library are about ten other translations.
Except the word is actually covenant. Thayers Greek dictionary: we find in the N. T. two distinct covenants spoken of, δύο διαθῆκαι (Galatians 4:24), viz. the Mosaic and the Christian, with the former of which (τῇ πρώτη διαθήκη, Hebrews 9:15, 18, cf. 8:9) the latter is contrasted, as καινή διαθήκη, Matthew 26:28; Mark 14:24
It is not the same as a Testament.
I showed you the Greek word meaning "covenant," but you still want to claim it means "testament?" I fail to see what your purpose for this post is.Testament is in support of a covenant
The covenant is the contract between God and Jesus
The testament is Jesus making sure the covenant is carried out
Jesus Christ is the only person in history that rose from the dead to be the testator of His own will

The covenant is between Yahweh and mankind
Scripture reference, please?The covenant is actually between the Father and Jesus and it cannot be broken.
If we get born again and abide IN Christ... then we get Jesus reward.
If we fail to abide IN Christ then we get satan's reward
Salvation is only applicable to those that abide IN Christ.
Scripture reference, please?
Well, my brother, I know the verses you posted, but thank you. I was looking for the verse that says the New Covenant was between Yahweh and Yeshua and not between Yahweh and man.You should know this already....
Hebrews 1:8 (see Psalm 45:6)
But unto the Son He saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:
a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of Thy kingdom.
John 15:1,2
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. John 15:5 IF A MAN ABIDE NOT IN ME, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
*** WHO... is to do the abiding according to Jesus???? That’s right, WE are!
John 15:4,5
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
*** WHO... is to do the abiding according to Jesus???? That’s right, WE are!
John 15:8-10
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
HOW are we to abide in Christ, thru our own strength and ability???
NO... thru the Lord Who strengthens us!
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
