Little Red Book Ministry

Your part in this covenant is to ask forgiveness for your sins under His terms. His terms are that you turn from following a life of sin and begin a new life according to His precepts and commandments as laid out in His Word, the Bible. In other words, you must submit to doing His will in those cases where your will and His will are in conflict. In doing this, you have thrown yourself upon His mercy and given yourself to Him.

The important thing to realize here is that you are a purchased possession. He has bought you with His own blood. You must never forget this.

1 Corinthians 6:19–20; 1 Peter 1:18–19; 2 Peter 2:1

3. Jesus has all the rights of a King over your life
When you got saved, You made your Lord King of your life. A king owns every person in his kingdom. Every person is his servant and is expected to do the will of the king. He should tolerate nothing less than 100% obedience. It is the right of kings.

Psalms 2:6–12; Malachi 1:14, 3:16–18

C. He is your God
God created you. Therefore, you belong to Him. Your free will is a double–edged sword. You can choose to do things your way and die or do things His way and live.

Genesis 1:26; Genesis 14:19; Psalms 24:1

1. You are indebted to His great mercy
When Adam (and subsequently all men) chose to do things his own way, he earned the penalty of death for all of us according to God’s covenant with him. God, in His great mercy, decided not to destroy His creation and start again. He extended mercy to all those who will get back into a proper relationship with Him through His only begotten Son.

Ephesians 2:4–6; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 3:18.

2. His very position as God demands complete obedience “Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?” (Romans 9:20).

Romans 9:13–21; Isaiah 29:15–16
