Hebrews 8:7 - 13
The Covenant of Forgiveness is Extended to Everyone Who Believes and Trusts in Jesus.
Hebrews 8:7 - 13
7For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. 8But God found fault with the people and said b :
“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
9It will not be like the covenant
I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
and I turned away from them,
declares the Lord.
10This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel
after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
11No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
12For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.” c
13By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.
