We can continue to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (curses, judgement, loss, suffering, etc).   or we can eat from the Tree of Life ( Jesus).   Here are some New Covenant truths, promises and declarations that should be the foundation of our faith.   

Glory to the Lord in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luk 2:14 The good will is from the Lord toward man.     For a person to have peace with the Lord they must receive His peace which comes by faith in Christ Jesus.

(For he says, I have heard you in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured you: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation). 2Co 6:2 Many hear the Gospel of Grace in vain by not believing and receiving it.      Those who would think they can put the Holy Spirit off are guilty of the sin of self-worship which offends the Holy Spirit.     When the Holy Spirit is offended He simply does not deal with the offender again.     Hence, they will never have a desire for the Lord.      Today is the day of salvation.     Grace is not offered as a gift certificate, redeemable at the individual`s discretion.

For the Son Of Man is not come to destroy men`s lives, but to save them.     And they went to another village. Luk 9:56 The love and Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is the message of the hour.

The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Joh 10:10 The thief is Satan who is the inspiration for all the evil in the world.      Whereas the `I` is Jesus who offers us Eternal Life and Abundant Life.      This verse is a powerful statement contrasting the nature of the enemy with the nature of our Lord Jesus Christ.      Note that the enemy takes by force what is ours, while we must appropriate by faith what is ours in Christ Jesus.      The appropriation is not a `one and done` thing.     Rather, it is an ongoing process throughout our lives on this earth.      Jesus has given us His life in giving us His Holy Spirit who is in every believer who has asked to be filled.     We aught to invoke His life into every aspect of our walk in the earth.

Hitherto have you asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full. Joh 16:24 Up to this point the disciples hsd spoken to God as YHVH, referring to Him as Lord.     Now, Jesus tells His disciples to speak to YHVH using the name Jesus.      In the Name Of Jesus is literally using the name, Jesus .      The Lord wants us to be joyful.     The second fruit of His Holy Spirit is joy.     Expect it, claim it and walk in it.     It is part of your inheritance in Christ Jesus.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace.     In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Joh 16:33 The peace that passes understanding is that which delivers us from the Fear Of Death.     Phi 4:7 Heb 2:15 There is nothing that can come against us for which Christ has not made us overcomers.      The world is corrupted by sin which has resulted in hatred, violence, sickness, disease and death.      But we are New Spirit beings In Christ and therefore are more than conquerors in all things.     Rom 8:37 Our Faith In Christ realized by the power of His Holy Spirit in us enables us to face the issues of life unfazed, actually remaining cheerful through them while waiting for victory.

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Rom 8:32 A logical conclusion that is rock solid.      Who is the ` `He`?         ➛ The Holy Spirit Father of Christ Jesus.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the HolySpiritCreator of truth and beauty, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Jam 1:17 Only good things come from the Lord.      He does not change over time and He is always Good and Light and Truth.      The enemy, Satan, is the inspiration for all that is evil.     Nothing good comes from the enemy.      Never accuse the Lord of causing or condoning evil.     That is confusing Him with Satan.     It is blasphemy.

And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. Rom 15:29 That blessing is both spiritual and material.

How the Holy Spirit Father anointed Jesus of Nazareth with Himself and His power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for the Holy Spirit was in him. Act 10:38 The anointing that Jesus had was the unique anointing of the Holy Spirit Father incarnating Himself in the body of Jesus Joh 14:9.      The Holy Spirit was in Him speaking His Words and doing His works Joh 14:10.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give good things to them that ask him? Mat 7:11 Most human parents give to their children what they ask if they can.     Our Heavenly Father is not limited on resources and so He will give us whatsoever we ask of Him.      It is interesting that Mary heard Jesus say something that Matthew did not Luk 11:13.      What was that?     That our Heavenly Father will give Himself to those who ask for Him.     It is out of His presence and power in our lives that all good things flow.      The way our Lord gives us good things is through His Holy Spirit in us.     Col 1:27

For the Holy Spirit so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Joh 3:16 The Holy Spirit is the eternal, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent Creator of all things by the Word.      What world is John speaking of?         ➛ The earth and all the people born into humanity.      The Holy Spirit is love and love is of the Holy Spirit.      The world was created by our Lord and it is good.     We know that man chose rebellion against the Holy Spirit and so humanity became evil.     But the Holy Spirit loves the people of this world and so He birthed Christ Jesus into the world to redeem it and us.      The Gospel is heard and those who are hungry are lead by the Holy Spirit to believe and receive the Truth.      The Truth sets us free from sin, from death and hell and brings us to Eternal Life by the infilling of the Holy Spirit.      Here is understanding:    ➛ Everlasting Life is Eternal Life    ➛ Eternal Life is union with the Holy Spirit.

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that the Holy Spirit Father is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1Jn 1:5 Pure light, pure Truth, pure love is the Holy Spirit.     no shadow of darkness at all in Him.

These are just a few of the many declarations found in the New Covenant that should form the basis of our faith.   God is good!
