Hebrews 8:10-12

God’s final Covenant with man was planned before their existence. The all knowing, all seeing, all powerful Creator of heaven and of earth knew man would fail and loved them still. In His plan of salvation based upon His own bodily sacrifice and in the indwelling of His own Spirit in man He would teach man His ways. In His mercy and grace He forgets our past and gives us a future. To the mind, body and heart of the Godhead be all the glory.


There are four provisions of the new covenant: (1) God’s law will be written on believers’ minds and hearts. This is in contrast to the Mosaic Law which was written on tablets of stone. (2) Believers will have a relationship with God fulfilling the promise of Lev. 26:12. (3) All will know God. No longer will Pharisees and scribes have to teach the intricacies of the Law to the people. (4) God will forgive the sins of believers and remember them no more. The continual sacrifice of animals for the atonement of sin will cease.

Hebrews 8:10-12

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
