Hebrews 8:12

A Superior Covenant

¹¹
“And it will not be [necessary] for each one to teach his fellow citizen,
Or each one his brother, saying, ‘Know [by experience, have knowledge of] the Lord,’
For all will know [Me by experience and have knowledge of] Me,
From the least to the greatest of them.
¹² 
“For I will be merciful and gracious toward their wickedness,
And I will remember their sins no more.” ¹³ When God speaks of “A new covenant,” He makes the first one obsolete. And whatever is becoming obsolete (out of use, annulled) and growing old is ready to disappear.

Be Merciful

Have Mercy

Not At All

No

Acts 13:38-39

So let it be clearly known by you, brothers, that through Him forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you;

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful and trustworthy Witness, the Firstborn of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who [always] loves us and who [has once for all] freed us [or washed us] from our sins by His own blood (His sacrificial death)—
