The New Covenant to the Church is the forgiveness of our sins providing for a new spiritual heritage in Christ as demonstrated by His Resurrection.
In order for this New Covenant to be ratified it required a Sacrifice, a Priest to officiate over the sacrifice and a Mediator equal to both parties to bring reconciliation.
