The Better Covenant unlocking the treasures of the New Covenant Authored by Ron Bailey https://www.createspace.com/3554449
The final hours of Christ's pre-Calvary life focused on the themes of a new Passover, a new Kingdom and a New Covenant. This New Covenant stands in stark distinction to the Covenant enjoyed by the saints of the Old Testament. It is said to be 'new' and 'better' and 'more glorious' but for many its uniqueness has become uncertain. It is frequently described in contrast to the older Covenant; the writer to the Hebrews does this, as does Paul, as did Christ. Perhaps its determining feature can be expressed in the contrast implied in the statement; ...but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. John 14:17 NKJV The conscious reception of the indwelling Spirit is the point of entrance into this New Covenant. This receiving of the Spirit effects the work of regeneration and fulfils the promises of the New Covenant made by Jeremiah and Ezekiel in which they see a new and different covenant in which old things would pass away and all things become new. This powerful regeneration/baptism in Spirit takes a man out of Adam and puts him into Christ thereby creating a 'new man' with new powers and instincts. This book explores the salvation history of the Bible, examining the background to the promise of the New Covenant as introduced in the Old Testament and the fulfilment of that promise in the New Testament. It traces Paul's exciting discovery that the New Covenant contained a 'secret' which opened God's kingdom to all races and conditions of humankind. It examines the implications of this better covenant for a true understanding and practise of daily living in the New Covenant.

| Re: New Book Released: The Better Covenant by Ron Bailey | | Thanks for this Greg, I really appreciate it. Some of the older SI-ers will know of my passion for the New Covenant and the book gives me time to develop some of the themes is a more leisurely manner. I do long for my brothers and sisters to know and enjoy what God has done for us. I trust the Lord will bless the book to that end.
I am well on with the second book which may interest some old-timers too. Some years ago you asked me to do a series of weekly devotionals touching on important truth and I did 60 or episodes of 'Abraham, my friend'. I have been asked many many times to get these into print and that is the next project. Thank you for being willing to do the foreword for that. _________________ Ron Bailey

| Re: | | I highly recommend this book. Ron Bailey has a lot of teachings and writings on the internet that are very valuable. This work brings together a lot of material into a comprehensive look at the New Covenant. So many problems we discuss every day could be remedied if we would just get back New Covenant Christianity. _________________ Robert Wurtz II

| Re: | | My book is ordered! And I can hardly wait to dig into its 306 pages. Knowing Ron Bailey, this will be a book to read slowly and carefully. And it won't be dry theology. It will make the good news of Christ come alive in real life experience.
I am one of those "old timers" here who has been blessed by Ron Bailey's contributions. I also enjoyed his Abraham series and many of his sermons and articles. It is a delight now to have my own book written by Ron Bailey. I hope it will be autographed!
