An Executor In Covenant

Mr. M · Mar 29, 2021

Jeremiah 23:
5 Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, that I will raise to David a Branch
of righteousness; a King shall reign and prosper and execute judgment and
righteousness in the earth.
6 In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely. Now this is His name
by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

To be an executor in covenant, one must keep the Way of the Lord. Christ fulfilled all
Righteousness through the Branch of David, perfecting every covenant between God and man, beginning with Abraham.

Genesis 18:19. For I know him, that he will command his children and his household
after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to execute judgment and righteousness;
that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

The Stewardship of Abraham in covenant with God was not just in keeping Judgment
and Righteousness, but to take command over all in his sphere of influence by keeping
the Way of the Lord. The Memorials of the Lord must be passed on to the next generation.
The Way of the Lord always includes this Stewardship.

The Lord Will Be Exalted
Isaiah 5:16. But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is Holy
shall be sanctified in righteousness.

For the Lord to be exalted in judgment, the Holy Spirit must be involved to counsel
your decision. This is an absolute requirement when passing on the Way of the Lord.
Righteousness requires our sanctification from carnal ideas.

2 Corinthians 3:4 And such trust have we through Christ toward God:
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves;
but our sufficiency is of God.

Clothed in A Righteous Robe
Job 29:14. I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe
and a diadem.

Romans 13:14. Therefore, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and stop making provision
for the desires of the flesh.

Psalm 106:3. Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that executes righteousness
at all times.

Righteous Judgment In Truth
Isaiah 16:5. In mercy the throne will be established, and One will sit on it in Truth,
in the tabernacle of David, Judging and seeking justice and hastening righteousness.

Isaiah 56:1. Keep justice, and do righteousness, for My salvation is about to come,
and My righteousness to be revealed.

James 2:13. For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy.
Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Jeremiah 33:15. In those days and at that time, I will grow up unto David a Branch
of righteousness; he shall execute judgment and righteousness for the earth.

Did Abraham make a covenant with God, or did God make a covenant with Abraham?

There was no condition, no performance required of Abraham in that covenant.
It was unilateral.

An executor (or executrix) of an estate is an individual appointed to administer the estate of a deceased person. ... The executor is appointed either by the testator of the will (the individual who makes the will) or by a court, in cases wherein there was no prior appointment.

Hebrews 9:
16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives.

The testator is not the executor. The testator is the deceased.

Hebrews speaks of no executor. . .it speaks of a mediator, which is not the same thing.

There is no "executor" of a covenant. There are only the parties to a covenant, with a mediator between them.

Yes, that is what it says, as cited.

Clare73 said:

Mediator was not mentioned in the post, but is in the epistle, since you mentioned it...
Hebrews 9:15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

The mediator establishes the terms of the agreement, which are not subject to further negotiations.
Hebrews 6:
16 For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.
17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability
of His counsel, confirmed by an oath,
18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

Clare73 said:

This you will have to explain, since the promises of the New Testament are received as an
inheritance, and the whole reason for the discussion in Hebrews.
Ephesians 1:
13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation;
in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

2 Corinthians 1:
21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,
22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

The executors are those who He establishes and anoints for stewardship of the Gospel,
to the praise of His glory.

I have been entrusted with a stewardship. =the executors of the New Covenant.

An astonishing statement in light of the controversy surrounding this topic. And a serious error.
Genesis 17:
7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.
8 Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the
land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
9 And God said to Abraham: As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations. 1
10 This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised;
11 and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.
12 He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised, every male child in your generations,
he who is born in your house or bought with money from any foreigner who is not your descendant.
13 He who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money must be circumcised,
and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
14 And the uncircumcised male child, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.

Imagine what that means to the new covenant of the heart.

I only originated, count them, three threads on being cutoff from covenant, exclusion from
access, and the grafting in of Romans 11 just last week.
Many think that I am trying to condemn people to some mythical hell. I am trying to encourage
and exhort them to walk in the terms of a covenant relationship that gives them the Spirit of Life
from the Vine, the Source. How they imagine that to be possible without a stewardship,
without being a faithful servant is hard to comprehend with the focus the Lord puts in His teachings pertaining to being a "good and faithful servant". The Exhortations of the Gospel hopefully are more
well received elsewhere. A few hundred guests to the forum view the threads without privileges
to respond or rate the statements, so one can only hope.

16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.

What you are calling nomenclature is nothing more than the way that the Greek was translated.
Paul's epistles and Hebrews are very much legalese. If you are not able to see ministers of
the Gospel as executors, that is not my concern. There is a mandate to serve the Gospel. Period.

I never said that the Holy Spirit was the executor. The scriptures cited state clearly He is the
guarantor. A true minister does so by the power vested in them by the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit is enabling and empowering them to act as executors on behalf of the testator.
It is the Will of God. Only those who execute the Will of God will be rewarded.

The responsibility is to have sound comprehension. Translators alter the Greek according to various
preferences and bias. If what you said had any truth, there would be one ENGLISH translation.
Executor is a very good English word for rightly comprehending the actions of someone who
is performing the will of God in their life, taken from legal terminology, and that pertaining to wills
and estates. Inheritance Laws. If that is not helpful to you, so be it. You are just perpetuating an argument based on your comprehension. Pastors, preachers, apostles are not exclusive to the mandate to do God's Will, these are just examples of serving that purpose. Many are called, the chosen receive a stewardship to serve the Gospel. To minister. To execute judgment and righteousness in their life.
This is the very clear message of the scriptures posted in the OP#1, which you seem to ignore, for
the sake of argument. Discussions with you are always unpleasant for that reason. Read the OP,
or stay off the thread. This is a last request.

God's New Covenant, of which Jesus is the Mediator, is not about judgment.
