"And for this cause He is the Mediator of the New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance." Hebrews 9:15
Let’s read this verse from the Amplified Bible as well. “[Christ, the Messiah] is therefore the Negotiator and Mediator of an [entirely] new agreement (testament, covenant), so that those who are called and offered it may receive the fulfillment of the promised everlasting inheritance-since a death has taken place which rescues and delivers and redeems them from the transgressions committed under the [old] first agreement.” Hebrews 9:15 Amplified Bible
Jesus has offered us and He has given us a New Covenant, a totally New Covenant which guarantees our everlasting salvation. The Old Covenant was a covenant of works, the Ten Commandments, the Law, do these things and don’t do those things. The New Covenant that Jesus has given us is a Covenant of faith. Jesus has offered and chosen us to be part of a covenant that allows Him to be the Author and Finisher of our faith. So through the perfect power of our Lord and Savior we are now able to believe and completely trust in God. And since we now operate in the power of Jesus’ faith, God is able to accomplish His perfect works of righteousness through us. That is what it really boils down to, Jesus gave God the ability to be in Control of our lives and since He is, Jesus gave us the ability to live free from the burdens and distresses that came from Adams sin. We have received the fulfillment of the everlasting inheritance, which has redeemed us and delivered us from all sin.
