A New Covenant
“But this is the new covenant, I will make with the people of Israel on that day,” says the LORD.
Jeremiah 31:33a
My Takeaways
Something Old
God’s discipline doesn’t mean He doesn’t love; it means He does love. (Jeremiah 31:20)
Something New
The new covenant in Jeremiah 31 is a prophetic word about the future. We are benefactors of this new covenant because of Jesus. (Romans 11:17)
The new covenant
- Full of freedom, not bondage to a law too hard to keep
- Extends grace, mercy, and forgiveness, not punishment and captivity.
- Worships one King, not many kings
- Provides an internal helper, not life with a moral compass
- Ends in life, not death
- Seals us until the day of redemption
