"This is the covenant I will make with the people 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.
No longer will they teach his neighbor,
or say to one another, '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 31:33-34~
***************
How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
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 9:14-15~
I am so very grateful for the way in which God has spoken with His people, then and now.
