From this verse, the Word reaches
The Scripture echoesHebrews 8:10
Hebrews quotes this verse at length to prove the new covenant has already come in Christ.
““For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days,” says the Lord; “I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.”
In parallel withEzekiel 36:26-27
The companion promise: a new heart, a new spirit, and God's own Spirit placed within.
“I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them.”
