“For I will forgive their wrongdoing, and I will never again remember their sins. By saying a new covenant, he has declared that the first is obsolete. And what is obsolete and growing old is about to pass away.”
Hebrews 8:12-13 CSB
One of the things I love about working a recovery program is the emphasis on "willingness to change" and a "reliance on God" as THE solution for healing and lasting change.
The Bible says time and time again, The Law, the old covenant which was a system based on human efforts, was never going to work. It was doomed to fail from the beginning. It is why we needed a savior, Jesus, the New Covenant. If our own effort and willpower worked, we wouldn’t have needed the Jesus or this New Covenant. We absolutely needed and still need the Lord's work on the cross.
