For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.
~Hebrews 9:15
In plain language, our conscience provides us with the wherewithal, enabling us to make choices fulfilling The Father's plan for our life. That overpowering influence emerging from within our thoughts asking us to do this, and not that...evidences The Father's call to fulfil our side of the contract, thereby enabling Him to reciprocate with Divine Providence supplying us with all that we will need to implement into our life that which we are called to do.
God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” ~ Romans 2:6
The modus operandi for this relationship with the Divine Mystery is not complicated, nor does it require a diploma in Biblical studies to understand. It is a quid pro quo friendship where we are invited to do all that is asked of us, and in return The Father provides for all our needs.
There are many references to The Covenant throughout Holy Scripture, with my preference for the following words speaking clearly:
“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” ~ Jeremiah 31:31-34
