Additional comment on Jeremiah 31:31 Additional comment on Jeremiah 31:31 Additional comment on Jeremiah 31:31 Additional comment on Jeremiah 31:31- ---34:34:34:34:

In regard to Jeremiah 31:31 Jeremiah 31:31 Jeremiah 31:31 Jeremiah 31:31- -- -34 34 34 34 , consider the total context as having already happenedat the beginning of the Gospel Age. The time did come and the Lord did make a new covenant with the houses of Israel and Judah which began at Pentecost when thepromise of the Holy Spirit came upon the early church.This covenant was at first restricted to the Jews until Cornelius, the first Gentile wasaccepted in the fold, some three years after Pentecost. The gospel was preached and thecall went out throughout all Israel. We read in Jn.1:11 Jn.1:11 Jn.1:11 Jn.1:11- -- -12 12 12 12 , "He came to his own, andhis own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he the power tobecome the sons of God.." At that time God did replace that old covenant with a new covenant to all those who believed and they entered into a brand new relationship withGod as his sons. God wrote a new law of love in their hearts. They no longer neededthat another to teach them, for God had given them the Holy Spirit to guide them intoall truth. This is confirmed to us in 1 Jn.2:27 1 Jn.2:27 1 Jn.2:27 1 Jn.2:27 , "But the anointing anointing anointing anointing which ye havereceived of him abideth in youabideth in youabideth in youabideth in you, and ye need n ye need n ye need n ye need not that any man teach youot that any man teach youot that any man teach youot that any man teach you, but as that that that that same anointing teacheth you of all things,same anointing teacheth you of all things,same anointing teacheth you of all things,same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth,is truth,is truth,is truth, and is no lie, and even as it even as it even as it even as it hath taught youhath taught youhath taught youhath taught you, ye shall abide in him". 2Cor 3:32Cor 3:32Cor 3:32Cor 3:3[Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written written written written not with ink, but with theSpirit of the living God; not in tables of stonenot in tables of stonenot in tables of stonenot in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of thebut in fleshy tables of thebut in fleshy tables of thebut in fleshy tables of the heart heart heart heart....Those, who believed, had their sins forgiven and their iniquities are no longerremembered because they have been justified by the blood of Jesus ransom sacrifice.

Rom.4:6 Rom.4:6 Rom.4:6 Rom.4:6- -- -7 77 7 tell us, "Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying , Blessed are they whoseBlessed are they whoseBlessed are they whoseBlessed are they whose

iniquities are forgiven, and whosiniquities are forgiven, and whosiniquities are forgiven, and whosiniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered".e sins are covered".e sins are covered".e sins are covered". Those Jews of the early churchexperienced all of this before it was extended to the Gentiles.
