Main Idea: We must lean on Jesus—not the keeping of OT law!
Our Problem: Faulty Old Covenant and Faulty Us! God found fault with the old covenant (7) If the first covenant were faultless, no need for a second (7) It made nothing perfect (couldn’t forgive sins) It could not provide means for keeping commands It could not change the heart God also found fault with Israel and Judah (8-9) (Jer 31:31-34) The Jewish people did not continue in that covenant (9) God showed no concern for their sinning (9)
God’s Solution: A New Covenant! I will establish a new covenant with Israel and Judah (8, 10) I will work on their “insides” (10b) I will put my law into their minds I will write My laws in their hearts I will establish My relationship with them (10c) I will be their God They shall be My people I will enable them to know Me (11) They will not need to teach each other to know Me They shall ALL know Me (from least to greatest) I will forgive them (12) I will be merciful toward their iniquities I will remember their sins no more I will make the first covenant obsolete (13)
Application
We must trust in Jesus—lean totally upon Him for salvation and life!
