The blood of the New Covenant Hebrews 9:15-23: One other major benefit of the death of Christ was the ratification of the New Covenant. His death provided atonement for those under both the Old and the New Covenants. The beauty of the teaching of this chapter is that God made a New Covenant, with Jesus as Mediator, and He redeemed man from sin by the sacrifice of His own death.

God's covenant of Grace is called a testament or will. All things required in a will or testament is found. Christ Jesus died and left His will. The will contains certain bequeath. Some were temporal; many were spiritual, and all related to eternal salvation. The heirs of promises must be part of God's family. The will contained certain required conditions whereby the blessing could be obtained. The will required faith, repentance, and sincere obedience in baptism into Christ's death and blood, and faithfulness to the Heavenly Father. Let us remember that "without shedding of blood there is no remission."
