New Covenant

What is the new covenant? - The law written on our hearts!


Jeremiah 31:31
Behold, the days come, saith Yahweh,
that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jeremiah 31:33
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their G-d, and they shall be my people.
Hebrews 8:8
For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Hebrews 8:10
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them Abba, and they shall be to me a people.

Replacement theology teaches, “The church has replaced Israel”, however Scripture teach;

But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry… But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.”– Romans 11:13, 17, 18,

Gentile believers (wild olives) are covenant–bound (grafted in) to Israel (Father Abraham’s Olive Tree). Therefore Gentile believers are fellow citizens and full-participants with the Commonwealth of Israel (Eph. 2) and are granted the privilege of following the entire Torah.
Jew and Gentile, of those who have placed their trust in (Jesus) Yeshua (Jer. 31:31-34; Heb. 8:7-12).
Torah is foundational revelation of the righteousness of G-d and serves as a description, along with the rest of the Scriptures, of the lifestyle of the Redeemed Community (James 1:16-27).
