Overview
Top Highlights
“The new covenant provides for the full and final forgiveness of sins (31:34; cf. 50:20).” (Volume 8, Page 13)
“In light of the previous discussion, the view that the church presently participates in the new covenant while national Israel fulfills the new covenant in the future is the most satisfactory interpretation of the biblical evidence. It is the only view that consistently maintains a literal hermeneutic, particularly with Old Testament prophecy. In addition, it is the only view that allows for a distinction between national Israel and the church in God’s redemptive activity that is consistent with a literal interpretation of the Old and New Testaments.” (Volume 8, Page 48)
“The new covenant includes Yahweh’s transforming or regenerating the heart of the individual so that there is both the desire as well as the capacity for obedience (31:33; 32:39–40; 50:4–5; cf. 24:7).” (Volume 8, Page 12)
“Jesus associates the shedding of his blood with the ratification of the new covenant.70” (Volume 8, Page 24)
“Consistent with Jeremiah’s other uses, the expression knowing God means to be brought into a relationship of fellowship with God where His favor is experienced and His will is obeyed (cf. 2:8; 4:22; 9:3, 5, 23–24; 22:15–16). Again, such knowledge was available under the old covenant, but it was not something that the old covenant itself produced. Under the new covenant, this knowledge is promised for all.” (Volume 8, Page 13)
