Founded on the mediator of the New Covenant, of whom there is only one, the Lord Jesus. 1 Tim.2:5 This New Covenant is proclaimed to be the BETTER COVENANT. Not only is it the better but it is the only covenant that is recognized by God today. Heb.8:6 His is the more EXCELLENT MINISTRY that has been ESTABLISHED ON BETTER PROMISES. There is nothing superior to this the NEW TESTAMENT, the NEW COVENANT.
WHY SHOULD WE COME TO THIS MOUNT SION?
It is the city of the living God. Israel of old worshipped in that which was but a shadow, we now come to worship in that which is the true and living city of God. This is that which the Lord has chosen for His habitation. This will be His eternal dwelling place. It is here that He will establish His throne. Ps. 132:13-14. This is the city of His glory. The fullness of the glory of the Lord will be manifest in her. Ps.87:3 John identified the city as the new Jerusalem, a city from God out of heaven. It is the city of the Lords creation. Originating from His very throne presence. He also stated that she was clothed as a Bride ready to meet with her husband. She is beautiful beyond description, a glorious church. Rev.21:2.
It is certainly not difficult to complete the identification of the city of Gods delight for it is the city of the assembling of the firstborn. Heb. 12:23 Christ, is the firstborn of many brethren. The city is the gathering together of those born of the Spirit. Those who have their name written in the Lambs book of life. The requirements for inhabiting that city are very definite and easily understood. Every occupant of that city will have been purchased and cleansed by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 20:28 All who dwell in and are a part of that city will have come to the perfections that are in Christ Jesus. Eph. 4:13 This is the city of His HOLINESS. His throne is situated within the walls. His power and glory are dwelling here with the glorified Bride. It is here that we see the ultimate purpose of God in the salvation that He offers to the whosoever will. It is an exclusive city. There are Spiritual attainments that must be met in order to be a part of Her.
