The New Covenant is Here Now!

Old Covenant

God had given Israel a covenant written in stone by his own finger, and they broke it almost as soon as it was given. It was broken literally when Moses threw the tables of stone on the ground in anger (Exodus 32:19), as some of the Ten Commandments were being broken by the people while he was still on the mountain (Exodus 20:1-17). As Moses eventually received a new set, or copy, of commandments in the old covenant (Exodus 34), so do God’s people receive a new covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34).

New Covenant

As Jeremiah prophesied, God would make a new covenant and that new covenant was to be placed and kept in the minds and hearts of God’s people (Jeremiah 31:33). Everyone should know God, for they will have been taught of Him (Jeremiah 31:34). God even promised to no longer remember our sins (Jeremiah 31:35).

The Hebrew writer shows how the first covenant was not faultless; therefore, a new covenant was needed. Through Christ, we have now received the new and better covenant (Hebrews 8:7-13).

Today, if We Keep the New Covenant, He will be Merciful to Us.

We learn God’s laws of His new covenant by studying His word. We must meditate upon it day and night. Then, by following His commandments and walking in the light as He is in the light, His blood continues to cleanse us from all sin (1 John 1:7).
