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 ") 

 

I've always said, "Mosaic Covenant." I hope that's right.

 

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. 
 

I like what you've said. Very nice. Sadly, some people will say that the saints in the Older Testament exercised their faith by keeping the Mosaic Law while we [the Renewed Covenant saints] exercise ours by obedience to Christ... as if they looked forward to Yeshua's sacrifice while we look back.
