attributed (credited), to us, we can be seen as
sinless, as Jesus is sinless. We are not righteous in

Christ’s that God sees when He brings us into
fellowship with Himself.

Seven Promises of Jesus to Christian Believers
studyintheword.org

29. Covenant: The main difference between a covenant
and a promise is that while, in a covenant, both
parties have clear obligations and responsibilities, in a
promise, this characteristic cannot be observed.
Instead, in a promise, what we can observe is the
active role undertaken by one party while the other
remains passive.

supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My
blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in
remembrance of Me.”
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this
cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.
