326 God’s Puzzle Solved“ 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then shouldno place have been sought for the second.” If The Lawof Moses kept you from sinning, made you righteous andperfect, then why would you need any other covenant?The answer is, “ 8 finding fault with them.” What is thisfault? The answer is, “Behold, the days come, said theLord, when I will make a new covenant with the house ofIsrael and with the house of Judah” (Jeremiah 31:31).What is The New Covenant? It is, “ 9 Not according to thecovenant, that I made with their fathers in the day when Itook them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt;because they continued not in my covenant and I regardedthem not, said the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant [this istaken right out of Jeremiah 31:31-34. The passage is talkingabout The New Covenant with the church] I will put my lawsinto their mind and write them in their hearts: and I will beto them a God and they shall be to me a people.” This is thevital change in the old procedure. It will bring about thecondition, “ 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbourand every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord:for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.” It isGod’s Holy Spirit in each human that helps them knowgood from evil.Changing Human NatureWhat will make the people different?
