Hebrews 8:12 KJV

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 8:1-13

Having established the fact of the superiority of Christ, the argument now proceeds to deal with the superiority of the relationships consequent thereupon. The central verity is set forth in the words, "We have such a High Priest." Because this is so, His ministry must be superior in all its details. It is so in the place of its exercise. In position and localization He is not on earth. He rules over the whole spiritual House, ''which House are we," in which God dwells, and in which He is the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Hebrews 8:1-13

Our Great High Priest Hebrews 7:1-28 and Hebrews 8:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Christ was God's Priest after the order of Melchisedec. "The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec." This oath is mentioned in the 110th Psalm. There it says: "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek." Let us consider an incomparable Psalm, a Psalm so full of beauty and of glory, that it scintillates with... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 8:10-12

“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says the Lord, “I will put my laws into their mind, and on their heart also will I write them, and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. And they shall not teach every man his fellow-citizen, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all will know me, from the least to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And their sins will I remember no more.”... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 8:7-13

Hebrews 8:7-1 Chronicles : . The promises associated with the old covenant are described in the classical passage of Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 31:31-Nahum :), which is now quoted at length. But attention is first called to the fact that another covenant was found to be necessary. “ A place was sought for it”— i.e. God so modified His design as to bring it in— because the original covenant had proved defective. In three points, as the quotation from Jer. shows, the new covenant was grander and more... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 8:12

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness: this for states the cause of all the former acts promised in the gospel covenant, as regenerating, illuminating, adopting, and God’s gracious removing all sins that might hinder the communication of these and all other good to his covenanted ones; God, in and by the administration of this covenant, ratified by his blood, propitiating him, will of his free mercy pardon, blot out, and take away, Hebrews 2:17, and thereby free them from the guilt,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Hebrews 8:7-13

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESHebrews 8:7. Faultless.—Not merely “free from defect,” but “incomplete,” unable fully to meet man’s case. The old system was complete enough for its limited sphere and purpose: fault was found with its limitations. No place have been sought.—There would have been no occasion for introducing another. The ground would have been covered. It may be said, Why then did not God make Judaism fully efficient? The answer may be given in the words of St. Paul, “That is not... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 8:6-13

Hebrews 8:6-13 The Blessings of the New Covenant. I. The blessings of the New Covenant are all based upon the forgiveness of sin. God promises to put His laws into our minds, and write them upon our hearts, and to be to us a God, because He is merciful to our unrighteousness, and will remember our sins and iniquities no more. All our progress in the Divine life, and all the consolations of the Christian pilgrim, are rooted in this primary doctrine of forgiveness through faith in Jesus. II.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 8:10-12

Hebrews 8:1-2 , Hebrews 8:6 , Hebrews 8:10-12 The New Covenant Its Promises. I. Pardon is the last named of the promises, but it is the first bestowed. The terms of the promise indicate two things respecting the blessing it holds forth, namely, its source and its fulness. (1) Its source "I will be merciful to their unrighteousness." The source, then, of the promised pardon is the mercifulness of God. We mean, of course, its moral source, for its legal source is the atonement of Jesus Christ.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Hebrews 8:1-13

Chapter 8Now of the things which we have spoken this is the essence: We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heavens; he is a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer [that is the ministry of the priest to offer the gifts and the sacrifices]. For if he were on... read more
