"'The Redeemer will come to Jerusalem
to buy back those in Israel
who have turned from their sins,'
says the LORD.
'And this is my covenant with them,' says the LORD. 'My Spirit will not leave them, and neither will these words I have given you. They will be on your lips and on the lips of your children and your children's children forever. I, the LORD, have spoken!'"
We live in the fulfillment of this marvelous promise. The Redeemer, Jesus, has come to Jerusalem and bought back sinners through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. Now we have the Holy Spirit and the completed Word. God spoke these words thousands of years ago, and now they have come true! Today, rejoice in the fact that you live under the new covenant of grace in Jesus. Trust the God who fulfilled this plan, for he will also fulfill the unique plans he has for you. "I, the Lord, have spoken!"
