Nova aliança
A Nova Aliança é o pacto de graça que Deus estabeleceu através de Jesus Cristo. Diferente da antiga, ela é escrita no coração, mediada pelo sangue de Cristo e acessível a todos.
A profecia da Nova Aliança
Jeremias profetizou uma aliança nova em que Deus escreveria sua lei no coração do povo. Essa promessa se cumpriu em Cristo.

Selada com sangue
Jesus instituiu a Nova Aliança na Última Ceia: 'Este cálice é a nova aliança no meu sangue.' Seu sacrifício é definitivo e perfeito.
