Christians believe that Jesus is the mediator of the New Covenant (see Hebrews 8:6). His famous sermon from a hill representing Mount Zion is considered by many Christian scholars to be the antitype ^[1] of the proclamation of the Old Covenant by Moses from Mount Sinai.

This article is about the theological concept of the New Covenant. For the use of the term in reference to the Christian scriptures, see New Testament.

The term New Covenant (Hebrew · ברית חדשה‎ · berit hadashah — Greek · διαθήκη καινή · diatheke kaine) is used in the Bible (both in the Hebrew Bible and the Greek New Testament) to refer to an epochal relationship of restoration and peace following a period of trial and judgment.

Key Text: Jeremiah 31:31-34

This is the only passage in the Hebrew Bible that uses the wording "new covenant", but there are very many other passages in the Hebrew scriptures that speak about the same epochal relationship, without using this exact wording. Some passages speak of a "covenant of peace"; others use other constructions; some simply say "covenant", but in context it is clearly the New Covenant at issue; and some use metaphorical descriptions, like "Mount Zion", referring to the New Covenant. The key text at issue here is quoted in full in Hebrews 8:8-12 in the New Testament, with an interpretation in the surrounding text. That full quotation, with partial quotations of the same text in other New Testament passages, reflects that the authors of the New Testament, and Christian leaders generally, consider Jeremiah 31:31-34 to be a central Old Testament prophecy of the New Covenant. Here is the key text: The Epistle to the Hebrews (abbr. ... Note: Judaism commonly uses the term Tanakh. ...

"Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." — Jeremiah 31:31-34 ESV ^[3] Bold text The Book of Jeremiah, or Jeremiah (יִרְמְיָהוּ Yirmiyahu in Hebrew), is a book that is part of the Hebrew Bible, Judaisms Tanakh, and later became a part of Christianitys Old Testament. ...

Key Interpretive Texts in the New Testament

The Greek New Testament uses the exact wording "New Covenant" five times^[4] using the combination of some form of διαθήκη and καινός. One passage^[5] uses the construction διαθήκης νέας, also meaning New Covenant.

The Newness of the New Covenant

One of the unique things about the New Covenant, among covenants described in the Bible, is that it will not be broken, by definition. All prior biblical covenants between God and man are described as being broken.^[6]

Different Views of the New Covenant

There are two basic understandings of the New Covenant. The difference between them revolves around mutually-exclusive understandings of the nature of Israel, to whom the covenant was given in prophecy. The difference between these two views is largely the difference between a Jewish view of the world and a Christian view of the world. Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people. ... This article is becoming very long. ...

• Jewish view ^[7] — Israel includes primarily (if not exclusively) those who can trace their physical ancestry to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, i.e. the children of Israel or Israelites. Since the New Covenant was prophetically made with "the house of Israel and the house of Judah", it cannot be understood apart from the nation of Israel, i.e. the group of all people who are naturally related to Jacob, i.e. Israel, Judah's father. For many this is matrilineally determined. While proselytes have had a place in Judaism from early times, and most Jewish leaders advocate that non-Jews obey the Noahide laws (because all people are a part of the covenant made with Noah), the closest a non-Jew can come to the covenant is to be considered a ger toshav, or sojourning foreigner. In this view, Gentiles are not required to keep the Ten Commandments, per se, because they are not of the Israel which was forever bound by the covenant which the Decalogue described in stone. Because of the debated status of proselytes in Judaism, it is a different question to ask about the nature of Israel (the question at hand) and to ask "Who is a Jew?" Someone can be considered a proselyte Jew, and not be considered a part of the nation of Israel. Indeed, this is a common view of proselytes. While many Jews await the coming of the Jewish Messiah, few Jewish scholars have explored, or developed a theology of, the New Covenant. The New Covenant has never been a significant feature of Jewish eschatology, other than the belief that eventually Jews will know and follow the Torah without the need to study (Jer 31:32-33).
• Christian view ^[8] — Before the advent of Dispensationalism in the 1820s, the almost universal Christian view of the nature of Israel is that it is, according to Jesus and his Apostles (most notably John and Paul), primarily a spiritual nation (considered so especially since the coming of Jesus) composed of (1) the faithful remnant of the Jews (understood as those claiming Jesus as their Messiah), and (2) believers from among the Gentiles, who have been grafted into the promises made to the nation of Israel, including the New Covenant. According to Christian theology, this spiritual Israel is composed of only and all Jews and Gentiles who are genuinely of the faith of Abraham,^[9] i.e. the Christian faith (believing Jesus to be Christ and Lord). The Apostle Paul says that "it is not the children of the flesh (i.e. the natural descendents of Abraham) who are the children of God, but the children of the promise (i.e. the spiritual descendents of Abraham)."

  But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but "Through Isaac shall your offspring be named." This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring. — Romans 9:6-8 ESV ^[10] It has been suggested that Abraham (Hebrew Bible) be merged into this article or section. ...

• Catholic Encyclopedia: Epistle to the Hebrews: "... the Epistle opens with the solemn announcement of the superiority of the New Testament Revelation by the Son over Old Testament Revelation by the prophets (Hebrews 1:1-4). It then proves and explains from the Scriptures the superiority of this New Covenant over the Old by the comparison of the Son with the angels as mediators of the Old Covenant (1:5-2:18), with Moses and Josue as the founders of the Old Covenant (3:1-4:16), and, finally, by opposing the high-priesthood of Christ after the order of Melchisedech to the Levitical priesthood after the order of Aaron (5:1-10:18)."
