The Biggest Difference Between the Old and New Covenants | Jeremiah 31

How is the New Covenant different from the Old Covenant? In this coach discussion, Andy and Brent explore Jeremiah 31:31–34, one of the most important passages in the Bible for understanding the relationship between the Old and New Covenants. Many discussions focus on which laws Christians must obey, but this conversation argues that the deeper issue is one of approach. The New Covenant is not simply a revised version of the Mosaic Law. It is a fundamentally different way of relating to God—one in which God's law is written on the heart and believers walk by the Spirit rather than by external lists. Using Biblearc's Bracketing tool, Andy and Brent work through Jeremiah's prophecy and discuss how the New Covenant fulfills God's promises through Christ. 🎓 Learn the Study Method of Bracketing: https://equip.biblearc.com/course/bra... 📝 Sign up for our monthly Biblearc Field Notes email newsletter: https://resourcingeducation.m-pages.c... 🔔 Subscribe for more short devotionals that combine biblical theology, grammar, and deep Bible study insights.
