We Are Saved By Covenant
This sermon concludes an atonement series by challenging traditional substitutionary atonement theology and presenting salvation as fundamentally rooted in covenant relationship rather than sacrificial payment. The pastor argues that Old Testament sacrifices were designed to cleanse sacred space (the temple), not people, and could not atone for sins like murder, idolatry, adultery, or economic oppression. Through extensive prophetic and scriptural analysis, the message reveals that God's plan for restoration involves divine forgiveness, a new covenant, a new exodus, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit—the "living water" that truly cleanses. Just as Princess Diana became royalty through covenant marriage to Prince Charles, believers are elevated from common to holy status through covenant union with God. The sermon emphasizes that Jesus is the Lamb of the new Passover (not the goat of atonement), establishing a marriage covenant that requires daily faithfulness and intentional discipleship. Salvation comes through union with Christ, where His life becomes our life, His holiness becomes our holiness, and His Spirit transforms us from within.
