Question 7
But isn’t law keeping part of the Old Covenant?
Bible
Hebrews 8:8-10
"I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel; I will put My laws into their hearts and write them in their minds."
Answer
Yes, law keeping is part of the Old Covenant. But it's also part of the New Covenant too. The Bible says that God is making a new covenant, but the new covenant has the same law. The only difference is that the law is located in a different position. Rather than on tables of stone, the law in the New Covenant is put into the minds and written into the hearts of His people. New Covenant believers keep His commandments because they love Him and desire to obey.
Did you know that the New Covenant is first found in the Old Testament? It is found in Jeremiah 31:31. The New Covenant in the New Testament is merely quoting Jeremiah.
