“For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭9‬:‭15‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The new covenant, the old covenant, the New Testament the old testament. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭8‬:‭8‬-‭13‬ ‭ESV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/59/heb.8.8-13.ESV For he finds fault with them when he says: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not continue in my covenant, and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.” In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.”

“May the Lord be with your spirit. And may his grace be with all of you.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭3‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“May God our Father and our Lord Jesus bring us to you very soon. And may the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow and overflow, just as our love for you overflows.

He, as a result, will make your hearts strong, blameless, and holy as you stand before God our Father when our Lord Jesus comes again with all his holy people.”

What is Paul saying here? He’s saying that if we are full of God’s love, it will overflow to others. It’s not enough to merely be courteous to others. We must actively and persistently show love to them. Our love should be growing continuously. If your capacity to love has remained unchanged for some time, ask God to fill you again with the never-ending supply, then look for opportunities to express it. Christ will gather all believers, those who have died and those who are alive, into one united family under his rule. All believers from all times. This book of Thessalonians is packed.
