The New Covenant

Praise God, we are no longer under the law of Moses, doomed to repeat the failures of Old Testament Israel. We are under the covenant of grace, an unconditional covenant.
When we trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ by His Holy Spirit, He writes the law in our hearts!
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 a God, and they shall be to me a people.
God gives us His righteousness and grace. What does He want from us, His people?
Psalm 53:16,17 For Thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou delightest not in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
God desires an attitude of faith, contentment, obediance, humility, meekness, respect and service.
