Scripture Union Daily Guide for 7 March 2026 – Outline
Read Jeremiah 31:23-28,35-37,38-40 again. Note that these promises came long before Jerusalem was destroyed and the people of Judah went into captivity. What does this teach about God and his approach to punishing his people?
In Jeremiah 31:29-30, God debunked the fallacy of people blaming their predicaments on the sins of their parents (cf. Ezekiel 18:2-4). While heredity and environment can affect our character development to some extent, it is determined by our own will and choices to a greater extent. With the grace of God available to us now, we are personally responsible for our sins (Ezekiel 18:20; Titus 2:11-14).
One of the significant insights the Old Testament provides concerning the New Covenant is found in Jeremiah 31:31-34. From these verses, how is the new covenant different from the old?
The new covenant is made possible by the blood of Jesus Christ (Matthew 26:27-28; Hebrews 8:6-13). It is inward, personal and a permanent solution to sin (Hebrews 10:14-18). We come into it by putting our faith in Christ, and we are enabled to obey it by the indwelling Holy Spirit.
