What does Matthew 1:21 mean?The first promise in the New Testament is that Jesus is called Jesus because he will save his people from their sins, which is different from merely having sins forgiven as described in Psalm 103.Matthew 1:21
Interested in freedom from sin, not just escaping hellOnce a person understands the new covenant, their primary interest is avoiding and escaping the power of sin rather than just escaping hell or going to heaven.
The regret of missing the new covenantFailing to enter into what Jesus died to purchase will lead to eternal regret, as many believers still live like those under the old covenant by giving in to anger and fighting.
Longing for Jesus above all elseThe speaker looks forward to being with Jesus rather than seeking heavenly rewards, mansions, or golden streets.
The greatest gift is partaking of his natureAll the precious promises in the new covenant are designed for the purpose of helping believers become partakers of God's divine nature.2 Peter 1:3–4
Why Jesus overcame sinJesus overcame temptation because he had the divine nature and made real choices, rather than being a programmed robot.
