Jeremiah 31:31-34
31 “The day will come,” says the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah. 32 This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that covenant, though I loved them as a husband loves his wife,” says the Lord. 33 “But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day,” says the Lord. “I will put my laws in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 34 And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their family, saying, ‘You should know the Lord.’ For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will already know me,” says the Lord. “And I will forgive their wickedness and will never again remember their sins.”

Jeremiah was predicting forward to the day of Jesus Christ and the New Covenant He would make with all people. This prophesy was not just for the Jews, but for the Gentiles too. No longer would the Laws of God be written on stone, but on the hearts of those who would accept His gift of grace. When Jeremiah wrote this it was all in the future for him, but it is in the past for us. But verse 34 is also in the future for us. We know that today we have to go out and say to people, “You should know the Lord.” So this verse has not come to past yet, but will when Christ is ruling this world. At that time we will not need to tell others about Him because they will know Him. Jeremiah 33:17 states, ” For this is what the Lord says: David will forever have a descendant sitting on the throne of Israel.” David’s descendant is not on the throne at this time, so we know that it is in the future for all of us today. Christ will be that ruler, but until that Day when He returns, we must tell others about Him. With the strength of the laws of God written on our hearts and the love of God keeping us, we can continue the work of telling others about Him until that Day when He returns. Don’t let the sacrifice of Christ become dormant in your life, take what God has given you and tell others about Him. God will work through you to accomplish His purpose in your life. Remember, God does not give you power to be all you want to be, He gives you power to be all He wants you to be.

Have a God day!
