People are apt to make a wrong choice when they do not know the value of something; they may even make a choice that they will bitterly regret in the future.
The seal of salvation, the grace of the forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life…
In the new covenant, there are tremendous blessings that we cannot even fathom. If we neglect its value just because we cannot see it right away, we may fall into the error of Esau, who burst out with a loud and bitter cry after exchanging his birthright for a bowl of lentil stew.
If we realize the value of the new covenant that cannot be measured by anything, we must take firm hold of it. It is the blessing that even angels are envious of.
