Jeremiah on the New Covenant

Reading Jeremiah 31 this week and sharing a few brief thoughts:

1. The New Covenant is promised to Israel & Judah, not to "the church". As Paul pointed out, converts from the nations are grafted into the tree of Israel, not the other way around. Jer31:31
2. The only difference between the Old Covenant & the New Covenant is the medium on which the Law (aka Torah) is written. Stone vs hearts. Jer31:33
3. David's covenant didn't cancel Moses' which didn't cancel Abraham's which didn't cancel Noah's. No covenant annuls an older one. Neither does the New Covenant replace the Old. Rather, it restores it.
4. The existence of denominations, missions, etc., are all proof that the New Covenant is not fully in force yet. As long as one person need to teach another about God & His Law/character, the New Covenant is still waxing, but not full. Jer31:34
