The Mediator Of A Better Covenant • Foretold and fulfilled • Jeremiah 31:31-34 foretells • Hebrews 8:8-12 {10:16-18} fulfills • What the Law could/could not do (Rom. 8:3) • It could prepare the way for Christ (Gal. 3:24) • It can never take away sins (Heb. 10:11)
Examining the better covenant • Looking to the future (8:8) • Contrast to old covenant (8:9) • New covenant described (8:10) • Universal scope (8:11) • Forgiveness granted (8:12)
Had sins been remembered? • Yes (Heb. 10:1-3) • Not forgiven (Heb. 10:4) • “Can never take away sin” (Heb. 10:11) • Blood of Christ does forgive sin (Heb. 9:14-15) • It is also for those of “the first covenant” • It is a promise of “eternal inheritance” • “Remembered no more” (Jer. 31:34; Heb. 8:12; 10:17)
