Summary
The message emphasizes the profound promise of the New Covenant, which includes receiving the desire and ability to do God's will, and ultimately, knowing God personally. True knowledge of God goes beyond mere instruction, requiring a deep, intimate fellowship where one knows God's way of thinking, like a spouse knowing their husband. The speaker urges listeners to exercise their 'right' to know Christ face-to-face, viewing this deep spiritual knowing as a birthright.

God puts His laws in our minds and heartsUnder the new covenant, God gives us both the desire and the ability to do His will so that we can always succeed and please Him.Hebrews 8:10
Knowing the Lord personallyThe second point of the new covenant is that believers are meant to know God personally and understand His way of thinking, much like a husband and wife grow to know one another over time.Hebrews 8:11
An Old Testament example in MosesMoses experienced a foretaste of the new covenant, knowing God in a deeper way than others in the Old Testament.Numbers 12:6–8
The danger of criticizing God's servantsMiriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, and the Lord heard it and defended His servant, highlighting the arrogance of believers who criticize those who serve God.
Visions and dreams versus face-to-face fellowshipGod explains that while He speaks to prophets through visions and dreams, He spoke to Moses face to face as a friend, representing a higher level of relationship available in the new covenant.
Returning to Hebrews 8Returning to the new covenant promise, the speaker emphasizes that every believer, from the newest to the most mature, can know God personally.Hebrews 8:11
Your constitutional right in GodJust as people fight for constitutional rights like freedom of speech, believers should zealously exercise their birthright to know God and the Father face to face.
Cultivating a lifelong thirst for GodBelievers must refuse to live a substandard, satisfied Christian life and instead maintain a deep, ongoing thirst to know God more until they see Him face to face.
