The Promise was sealed with the Blood of Sacrifice. This is the Biblical sign that a Promise, or Covenant is sealed, the Sign of Blood. There needs to be focus in my life, personally, continually and increasingly, on the meaning of the shed Blood of Jesus Christ. This, also, is one of the foremost activities of the Church - or at least, it should be! Sometimes we get distracted in the Church because of incorrect focus. This "focus" is usually determined by a situation within the Church or its surrounding environment. The Scripture pattern is laid out for us in Acts 2:42 and it would be good for every Church to follow that pattern, as the Bible puts it - steadfastly.
