New Covenant

"Behold the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah...I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declare the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
-Jeremiah 31:31-34

Jesus is what's coming. The New Covenant. I will put my law within them - Holy Spirit. And we shall all know Him because the veil has been torn and we all have access to God. He has forgiven us as He promised He would. He will remember our sins no more.

All this on the wings of prophecies of destruction, but a whole chapter devoted to God's promise to restore them. To turn their mourning into joy. To give them a new covenant. To hear them when they cry out. Hallelujah praise the Lord for this New Covenant. For Jesus. A Covenant signed with the blood of the Most Holy Son cannot be broken or forgotten. Israel broke the old covenant, but we cannot break the New Covenant. You've either signed it or you haven't. I have signed on. No matter what crazy thing I do, or what I put before God in my heart, the Covenant cannot be broken. This is a Covenant of victory over everything. If it could be broken, then it never had any power to begin with. He will forgive us, that's the promise.

"Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar -- the Lord of hosts is his name:" Jeremiah 31:35

Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm Yours!
