I often make mention of God’s Law as Torah Law, Old Covenant Law, or the Law of Moses. It is this Law that God gave to the nation of Israel to set them apart from the nations and so that the world would become accountable to God.
The people of Israel broke the covenant. God promised through the prophet Jeremiah that a new covenant would come to the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the old.
Jeremiah 31:31-32 NASB - 31 "Behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them," declares the LORD.
When did this come to be? Jesus spoke of the new covenant in His own blood. He died for us for the forgiveness of our sins.
Do the following verses speak of this same new covenant? What law would He put in the people of Israel, writing it on their heart?
Jeremiah 31:33-34 NASB - 33 "But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD, "I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 "They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them," declares the LORD, "for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."
What law is the prophet Jeremiah speaking of? Are the commands of the new covenant the commands of the old covenant? What are the commands of the new covenant?
