The New Covenant = He’s the Teacher!
After His resurrection, Jesus opened His disciples’ minds to understand the Scriptures. That is the essence of His New Covenant. The Holy Spirit of God opens minds to understand the Word of God. Jesus taught when He was on earth in flesh, and He teaches today by His Spirit from heaven. The old covenant was the letter of the Law. The New Covenant is the Spirit of the Law, which is the Law and all of Scripture as taught by the mind of Christ.
But, who goes to church? Those NOT taught by God! Those WITHOUT the mind of Christ! Church people have chosen their own teachers according to their own desires They don’t want or need God’s One Shepherd, Teacher, and Judge. As a consequence, at final judgment He will declare He doesn’t know them.
If the Lord has not opened your mind to understand the Scriptures by His teaching, you do not know Him and He does not know you!
“But this is the covenant which I will make…” declares the LORD, “I will put My law within them, and on their heart I will write it … And they shall not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they shall all know Me….” (Jer 31:33-34)
“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you’” (Mt 7:22,23)
“Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up to us!’ then He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’” (Lk 13:25)

“‘Lord, Lord, open up for us.’ But he answered and said, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’” (Mt 25:11,12)
