Hebrews 8Hi OHC,
Yes, could we have the applicable Hebrew writings that support the claim?
God bless,

The new covenant is in the process of being implemented. When complete, it will feature all that you have stated here ...Do you think the Law is written in our hearts? Will we still sin?
Do we need pastors and teachers to teach us to "know the Lord' or do all of us know him equally?

I believe we are under the New Covenant now.
If you notice the Bible itself is divided into two. The Old Testament (or the old Covenant), and the New Testament (or the New Covenant).
While it is true there is an "already and a not yet" about it as we await the Lord's second coming, but I personally do not believe we are only partially under the New or that we still have aspects of the old Testament in force. We are fully under the New Covenant right now, and live in accordance with its principles - as seen in those passages of Jeremiah.
You as a Christian don't need me to share the Lord with you, you know Him and I believe His law is written on your heart. That's not to mean as Christians we don't need encouraging in the faith so long as we are in this fallen world, but you know the truth when you hear it, and you know wrong before you do it .. you may struggle, but you know in the core of your being..
it is God who gives the increase..

So if Christians are still sinning now, does that mean the Law is not written in their hearts?
Do you then think that, after the 2nd coming of Christ, when we are living in the heavens in our new body, we can still choose to sin?
Isn't that what "the Law written in our hearts" meant?
sin was in the world before the law was given (Romans 5:13)
