10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more (Hebrews 8:10-12).
The New Covenant is certainly in the form of the Old Covenant. The difference is in the fact that God is doing all the action in the new covenant. While God’s action in terms of the covenant towards Man has always been gracious, the new covenant is a complete and final act of grace on the part of God. God is removing the effect of sin from Man. Words such “no more”, are indicative of the permanent nature of salvation.
