Jerry Shugart,
The New Covenant was the Covenant that Jesus instituted on the night before his death at the Last Supper, or the Memorial of Jesus' death, that all Christians are to honor every year, on the day of Jesus' death.
This New Covenant that Jeremiah wrote about, Superceded the old Mosaic Law Covenant, Hebrews 8:6-13. The old Law Covenant could not save anyone, it condemned to death all that is under it, they were under a Curse, which Jesus did away with by the redemption that was then available to all who would believe in Jesus and obey the commandments of God, Galatians 3:1-14, John 3:15,16 18, 1Timothy 2:1-6, John 15:10. The Mosaic Law Covenant could not make anyone perfect, or take away men's sins because it was based on the blood of goats and bulls, The New Covenant was based on Jesus blood, Hebrews 9:11-24, 10:1-17. No imperfect human could obey the Mosaic Law perfectly so they were condemned to death, Hebrews 6:22,23, but could be saved by the blood of Jesus, if they would take advantage of the free gift offered. Even Peter sId that none of the Jews could obey the Law covenant, Acts 15:7-10.
The New Covenant was a much better Covenant, because it was based on faith and not on works of the old Laws, 2Corinthians 3:1-18, Romans 9:30-33. Agape!!!
