The Connection between the New Covenant and the Sermon on the Mount
The passage describes the prophecy of a new covenant which differs from the previous one because it involves putting the Torah in people's minds and writing it on their hearts, so they will know and follow God without being taught. This prophecy is also quoted in the letter to the Hebrews. Ezekiel also anticipates this new covenant, emphasizing the new heart and the presence of God's spirit. The passage highlights the continual human failure to live up to God's ideals, and the need for a renewed and recreated human heart by the power of God's spirit, although Jeremiah doesn't mention the spirit but emphasizes the Torah becoming a part of people's hearts.
