New Testament Law

Hebrews 8:7-12

Hebrews 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. [KJV]

In these verses we learn that the New Covenant is not the same as the Old Covenant. The Old Covenant was written on stone tablets, but the New Covenant is written in the hearts and in the minds of believers. Under the New Covenant, God forgets about our sins and iniquities. Under the New Covenant, God has a personal relationship with each believer. If you want to enter into this New Covenant with God, you need to be saved by Jesus.
