Re: Has the New Covenant started or is it still in the future?
The new covenant is that of faith, where:
1. The believer has the law of God written on his heart by the indwelling Spirit of God.
2. Those of Israel who believe in Christ and in his redemptive blood are in the new covenant.
3. The circumcision of the heart refers to being made a new creature by being in Christ.
Paul said concerning Israel's rejection of Christ and the new covenant:
2 Cor 3:12 Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, 13 not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end. 14 But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. 15 Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. 16 But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.
