Izzy Jere 31:34 contains a wonderful promise "there sins I will remember no more." That phrase, to my way of thinking, has to mean something that was not the case under the Moasical Covenant (did I say that correctly, Mester Slade -- "Mosaical Cov ") We are saved by grace throught faith apart from our working of the Law. Our/His faith is reckoned as if it were personal righteousness -- and we are saved, in part, because of that consideration on the part of God. Few - many? Well, I believe scripture, Linda. A whole bunch of people will be saved via the gracious consideration of the Lord. A whole bunch more will be lost, choosing to serve the created rather than the Creator.
