And the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband declares the Lord for this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days declares the Lord 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 teaches neighbor and each is brother saying no the Lord for they shall all

know me from the least of them to the greatest declares the Lord for I will forgive their iniquity and I will remember their sin no more. Oh there's so much here that God was promising in the middle of such a dark difficult time even that we just pray according to that to praise God for his grace and his promises that sustain us and get us through dark difficult times that promise us that what we're experiencing in suffering in

even discipline for our sin when we trust in God is not the end of the story but the specific promise here is that God is going to make a new covenant that all who will trust in him to be their husband in a much grander way than even the picture we see in the Old Testament which is glorious in and of itself God pursuing sinful people God being gracious and merciful to sinful people all throughout the Old Testament but this covenant this new covenant is a

promise that God will forgive all the iniquities of those who trust in him and remember their sin no more and all people who trust in him from the least to the greatest whoever you are wherever you are from you can know God and not just no God but you will have his law within your heart written on your hearts such that you and God walk together in relationship like never seen in
