Thanks but I know Hebrews very well and have been posting it to you and will continue doing so here. It is ok if you did not want to answer my question to you as I did not think you would to be honest once I showed you what scriptures I was referring to in relation to God's new covenant promise from Hebrews 8:10-12; Hebrews 10:16-17 from Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Ezekiel 36:24-27. Anyhow no worries. I will post though for those who might be interested even if you are not and pray it might be a blessing to all those who read it.....
GOD'S NEW COVENANT PROMISE....
God's new covenant promise is given and repeated in Hebrews 8:10-12; Hebrews 10:16-17 from Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Ezekiel 36:24-27. The new covenant promise that God made was to his people Israel who in the new covenant scriptures as shown in the OP are now all those who are not born of the flesh but of the Spirit through believing and following what Gods' Word says (the Church both Jew and Gentile) *Romans 9:6-8; Galatians 3:28-29; Romans 2:28-29 etc (see OP). So what is Gods' new covenant promise?
GOD'S NEW COVENANT PROMISE OF SALVATION THROUGH FAITH FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
According to the scriptures Jesus came to magnify the law from the inside out (thoughts and feelings; the mind or heart) quoting
Matthew 5:17-32 in fulfillment of *
Isaiah 42:21. This is to show that unless our righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees we can in no way enter into the kingdom of heaven *
Matthew 5:20. Jesus is saying the problem runs deeper then outward observance to the 10 Commandments. Evil begins in the heart *
Genesis 6:5 which was the reason mankind was destroyed the first time in the flood *
Genesis 6:7-13. Breaking God's 10 commandments from the heart Jesus says is what defile a man *
Matthew15:18-19. Jesus is saying we can be outwardly perfect and blameless like the Scribes and Pharisee but inwardly like dead mans bones *
Matthew 23:27-28. So who can be saved?
Jesus knows us that naturally we do not have the love of God in us *
John 5:42. This is why we need to be born again in the Spirit by faith to love God and keep his commandments *
1 John 3:6-9. Jesus magnified the law to the inside out to show us that we are all sinners *
Romans 3:9-10 in need of a Savior but many do not know the meaning of these scriptures *
Matthew 9:12-13. This is the new covenant promise of God’s salvation in those who believe his Word and why we need to be born again through faith *
1 John 5:3-4 to be free from sin (breaking any one of God's 10 commandments) *
Hebrews 8:10-12;
1 John 3:3-10;
John 8:32-36;
James 2:10-11;
1 John 2:3-4. If we are not born again into God’s new covenant promise and continue in it we will not enter the kingdom of Heaven *
1 John 2:3-4;
1 John 2:3-4;
Matthew 24:13.
Righteousness comes from love because love is the fulfilling of God's law and the very expression of what love is *
Romans 13:8-10. He that does not love does not know God for God is love *
1 JOHN 4:8. All those who are born again have a new heart to love and follow God *
1 John 4:7. This is the new covenant promise *
Hebrews 8:10-12. Those who are born again do not practice sin (breaking God's Commandments) *
1 John 3:4-9. This is why John finishes on this subject by saying; For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous *
1 John 5:3 and is why Jesus says If you love me keep my commandments *
Jofn 14:15. UNLESS we are BORN AGAIN *
John 3:3-7 in to walk in the Spirit *
Romans 8:4;
Galatians 5:16 under Gods new covenant promise *
Hebrews 8:10-12 to love we will not enter God’s Kingdom *
John 3:3-7. We need to be changed from the inside out which is what Jesus is talking about in
Matthew 5.
All those who knowingly break any one of God's 10 commandments stand guilty before God of sin *
James 2:10-11; Romans 3:19-20. All those who knowingly continue in unrepentant sin when they have been given a knowledge of the truth of Gods’ Word and reject it according to the scriptures will not enter into God's kingdom because they reject the gift of God’s dear son and count the blood of the covenant an unholy thing doing despite to the Spirit of God’s grace *
Acts of the Apostles 17:30-31;
Hebrews 10:26-27;
Romans 6:23.
God's 4th Commandment is one of the 10 Commandments that give us the knowledge of what sin is (
Romans 3:20;
Romans 7:7;
1 John 3:4. There is no such thing as the 9 commandments or the 613 in God's WORD. The same as there is no scripture that says God's 4th commandment is Abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a Holy day.
Love establishes God's law in those who believe and follow God's Word (
Romans 8:1-4). Obedience to God's law is not how we are saved it is simply the fruit of love because salvation has already been provided through faith *
Ephesians 2:8-9;
John 14:15;
John 15:10-12;
John 14:21;
Matthew 22:26-40. If our faith has no fruit it is dead *
James 2:18-20; 26 and our tree will be cast down and thrown into the fire *
Matthew 3:10; 7:19-20; 13:49-50. You cannot separate faith and works according to the scriptures just the same as you cannot separate love and law as obedience is the fruit of faith in God's Word which is how love to God and man is expressed.
This is the new covenant promise *
Hebrews 8:10-12; from
Jeremiah 31:31-34;
Ezekiel 36:24-27;
Romans 13:8-10 and is why Jesus says "If you love me keep my commandments. and on these two great commandments of love to God and man hang all the law and the prophets. Unless we are born again from the inside out we will never enter into God's kingdom
According to the scriptures, we are saved by grace through faith and not of ourselves it is a gift of God and
not of works lest any man should boast *
Ephesians 2:8-9. Obedience to God's law is
not how we are saved because all of us have already broken the law and are under it's penalty of condemnation and death *
Romans 3:9-23;
2 Corinthians 3:3-11. So it is by God's grace through faith that we are saved through Gods forgiveness of our sins. According to the scriptures, obedience to Gods' law therefore is the
fruit of genuine faith of one that is already been given Gods promise of salvation and the
fruit of God's work in us *
Philippians 2:13 as we believe and follow his word *
John 10:26-27. If our faith has no
fruit it is dead *
James 2:18-20; 26 and our tree will be cast down and thrown into the fire *
Matthew 3:10; 7:19-20; 13:49-50;
Hebrews 10:26-27. Therefore we do not abolish God's law through faith like some people teach but God's law is established in the heart by faith that works by love *
Romans 3:31;
1 John 5:3-4;
Romans 13:8-10. According to the scriptures, sin (breaking God' commandments and not believing and following God's Word) is the difference between the children of God and the children of the devil *
1 John 3:6-10;
Revelation 12:17;
Revelation 14:12;
Revelation 22:14. Therefore says Jesus you shall know them (who is from God and who is not) by their
fruit. *
Matthew 7:16-20;
John 15:1-6;
1 John 2:3-4.

THE WORDING FOR GOD'S NEW COVENANT PROMISES....
Ezekiel 36:26-27 [26],
A NEW HEART ALSO WILL I GIVE YOU, AND A NEW SPIRIT WILL I PUT WITHIN YOU: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
[27], And I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU, AND
CAUSE YOU TO WALK IN MY STATUTES, AND YOU SHALL KEEP MY JUDGMENTS, AND DO THEM.
Jeremiah 31:31-34 [31], [31], Behold, the days come, said the LORD,
that I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH: [32], Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was an husband to them, said the LORD: [33], But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, said the
LORD, I WILL PUT MY LAW IN THEIR INWARD PARTS, AND WRITE IT IN THEIR HEARTS; AND WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. [34], And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, said the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Hebrews 8:10-12 [10],
BUT THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL; After those days, says the LORD,
I WILL PUT MY LAW IN THEIR INWARD PARTS, AND WRITE IT 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.

Romans 8:4,
THAT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LAW MIGHT BE FULFILLED IN US, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT.
Romans 13:8, Owe no man anything, but to love one another: F
OR HE THAT LOVES HAS FULFILLED THE LAW. [9],
FOR THIS, YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT KILL, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, YOU SHALL NOT COVET; and if there be any other commandment, IT IS SUMMED UP IN THE SAYING YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. [10], Love works no ill to his neighbor:
THEREFORE LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW.
Romans 8:13,
FOR IF YOU LIVE AFTER THE FLESH YOU SHALL DIE: but
IF YOU THROUGH THE SPIRIT DO PUT TO DEATH THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, YOU SHALL LIVE. [14], For as many as are LED BY THE SPIRIT of God, they are the sons of God.
Romans 3:31, Do we then make the law of none effect through faith?
GOD FORBID: NO, WE ESTABLISH THE LAW.
......................
If we are not a part of God's Israel through faith in Gods' Word we have no part in Gods' new covenant promise. God never made a covenant with gentiles.
Hope this is helpful.
