(Nuggets from Jeremiah 31:33)
The COVENANT spoken of here is the NEW COVENANT, different from the OLD COVENANT given in the Mosaic era, fifty days after Israel was delivered from Egypt; which did not make provision for cleaning and forgiveness of sins.
The OLD COVENANT was based on animal blood which was used to atone for the sins, which just covered them and never blotted them away. The blood of animals was not and is not capable of remission, cleansing or washing sins away, and that made it faulty.
The old covenant focused more on the faults of the people of Israel but the NEW COVENANT which is the EVERLASTING COVENANT proclaims the fact that Jesus Christ officiates between God and man as a mediator.
The NEW COVENANT is based on the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST which is superior to the blood of goats, cattle and heifers. In this New Covenant, the debt of sin has been paid by Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary, which makes it possible for the Holy Spirit to abide forever in the hearts and lives of believers.
In the NEW COVENANT, the wall of partition has been torn down, giving every true believer unrestricted access to God, unlike what was obtainable in the OLD COVENANT.
This NEW COVENANT is currently being enjoyed by the gentiles today, but God has promised and spoken through Prophet Jeremiah that He will make a covenant with the house of Israel "after those days"..
What days exactly was God referring to in today's verse?
The days of Christ's Millennial Reign on earth, during which Israel will finally accept Christ whom they rejected and despised in His first coming, and because of their change of heart and acceptance of Christ, their sins will be forgiven and they will be cleansed.
When Israel is finally reconciled with God, He will write His law in their hearts and be their God, while they become His people forever, making the NEW COVENANT they have received an ETERNAL/EVERLASTING COVENANT.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
