The New Covenant fulfilled the Old - so what? Jeremiah 27-31

The new covenant was and is God's plan to restore Israel and all those of faith to Himself. The new covenant was intended to make us fulfill all requirements of the law (Romans 8:1-4). The new covenant was established by God, performed by God and blesses us with God's presence.   We are not able to fulfill the requirements of the law and quench the wrath of God.   We are hopeless without the new covenant. Most people live their lives in complete oblivion to the requirements of the law and the fulfillment of the law through Christ (the new covenant).  The don't realize they need a "new" covenant because they are not cognizant of the requirements of the "old" covenant. God's requirement is that we keep the law.   That requirement of the old covenant was not done away with with the new covenant but was fulfilled for us. Christ came and fulfilled the old covenant for us and that fulfillment became the new covenant. The new covenant was God's plan to fulfill for us His righteous demands.   Let's rejoice we live in the era of the new covenant. He fulfills the law in us by His Son fulfilling the law for us.
