The incarnation is the time and place in all of eternity where God and man meet, and find union in Christ. Jesus reveals God as Father, and unveils the truth of not only who God is, but the truth of who we are as his sons and daughters. So the revelation of God as Father unveils our identity.
If you don't see God as Father, you'll never truly know your identity. So now, when we come to God, do we come in the law-based ideology of approaching God, in the style of the Levitical priesthood of the Old Covenant? I think a lot of people do, but the invitation is for us to know God through the mediation of our great high priest, who is Jesus Christ, according to a completely different order than the Old Covenant.

Even in the new covenant, there's an assignment for you and me. The new covenant becomes the gateway into the greater works Jesus told us that we would do. The finished work of the cross becomes an access point to the greater works that we could have never walked in without it.
The finished work of the cross becomes the access point into a life of purity and righteousness and holiness that you could have never achieved on your own. It's purely a gift of grace. When we find ourselves falling short of that standard, well, then what? The Bible says, if we confess our sins, he's faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
So the new covenant is the fulfillment of all of it. Jesus, our Savior, who made us right with God. That's the ministry of reconciliation. So here's the challenge. Live as though you're already loved by God, because you are. You're not under a contract. You're in a covenant with God who never quits, never gives up, never runs out.
