Christ our Covenant

Isaiah 49:8
I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people.

Jesus Christ is the sum and substance of the covenant. As a gift of the covenant, He is the property of every believer. All that Christ, as God and Man, ever had or will have is yours--from God's free favor, to be your inheritance forever.

Our blessed Jesus, as God, is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent. All that Jesus has as perfect man is yours. As a perfect man, Jesus enjoyed the Father's perfect delight. He stood accepted by the Most High God. Believer, God's acceptance of Christ is your acceptance. Don't you know that the love the Father bestowed on Christ He is bestowing on you now? For all that Christ did is yours. That perfect righteousness that Jesus worked out through His stainless life is yours; it is credited to your account.
