Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I
will make a new covenant with the house of
Israel, and with the house of Judah not
according to the covenant that I made with their
fathers in the day that I took them by the hand
to bring them out of the land of Egypt which my
covenant they brake, although I was a husband
unto them, saith Jehovah. But this is the
covenant that I will make with the house of
Israel after those days, saith Jehovah I will
put my law in their inward parts, and in their
heart will I write it and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people and they shall teach
no more every man his neighbor, and every man his
brother, saying, Know Jehovah for they shall all
know me, from the least of them unto the greatest
of them, saith Jehovah for I will forgive their
iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more
(Jer. 3131-34)

Every one therefore that heareth these words of
mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a
wise man, who built his house upon the rock and
the rain descended, and the floods came, and the
winds blew, and beat upon that house and if fell
not for it was founded upon the rock. And every
one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth
them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man,
who built his house upon the sand and the rain
descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and smote upon that house and it fell and
great was the fall thereof (Matthew 724-27)

Results of Application

• We are blessed only when we apply Gods word
  (Jas. 125-27 Rev. 11-3 227)

13
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers
only, deluding your own selves. For if any one is
a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like
unto a man beholding his natural face in a
mirror for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away,
and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he
was. But he that looketh into the perfect law,
the law of liberty, and so continueth, being not
a hearer that forgetteth but a doer that worketh,
this man shall be blessed in his doing (Jas.
122-25)
14
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave
him to show unto his servants, even the things
which must shortly come to pass and he sent and
signified it by his angel unto his servant John
who bare witness of the word of God, and of the
testimony of Jesus Christ, even of all things
that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they
that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the
things that are written therein for the time is
at hand (Rev. 11-3)
