(Jeremiah 31:31-34)
31 'The time is
coming,' declares the Lord,
'WHEN
I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT
With
the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
(And
His Church, the Israel of God)
32 It will not be
like the Covenant I made with their forefathers
When I took them by
the hand to lead them out of Egypt,
Because they broke
my Covenant,
Though I was a
husband to them,' declares the Lord.
33 'THIS IS THE
COVENANT
I will make with the
house of Israel after that time,'
Declares the Lord.
'I will put my law
in their minds and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God
and they will be my people.
34 No longer will a
man teach his neighbor,
Or a man his
brother, saying,
'Know the Lord,'
Because they will
all know me,
From the least of
them to the greatest,'
Declares the Lord.
'For I will forgive
their wickedness
And will remember
their sins no more.'
(Jeremiah 31:31-34)
Here, God is talking
about the New Covenant
That Christ Jesus would
bring into effect
By His shed blood on
the Cross of Calvary
And the out pouring of
the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost.
In the New Covenant
The Holy Spirit puts
God's law in the mind of the believer
And writes it upon
their heart and becomes their teacher.
