Hebrews 8:1-13

v4) His perfect sacrifice ended all need for further priests and sacrifices.

v8-12) This is a quotation from Jeremiah 31:31-34, which compares the new covenant with the old. Law vs Grace. And it includes all the Gentile nations. And it offers a new way to forgiveness, not through animal sacrifice but through faith.

(Adapted from the One Year Bible)

I hope that I will always have His laws in my mind and in my heart.

One of my favorite lines: "I will be their God, and they will be my people."

And because of Jesus, he will remember my sins NO MORE!

sometimes i come across a situation/decision and i find myself wanting/needing to make the right one.

There is just something inside of me that gives me strength to do what He wants.

I believe that it is His Holy Spirit and His laws in my heart/mind that helps me act according to His will.

John 15:7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be given to you.

(I just love the fact that you guys are helping me memorize scripture! Thank you!)
