The new covenant 

 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: Hebrews 8:10

G
od  considered the first covenant obsolete not able to save man once and for all. The covenant was often done by a high priest who also pleads for his own sins and for the people’s sake. The first covenant which uses the blood of calves and goats was considered obsolete and not pure. Was anything wrong with the first covenant? yes there were so many things wrong with the first covenant; the scripture made us to understand that the first covenant was not capable of clearing our conscience of past sins we might have committed making us feel guilty even after offering sacrifices Hebrews 9:9 “ Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;” and also the the old covenant set a boundary with us and God not making us come boldly to fellowship with him. But the good news is this Christ has been made a mediator of the new covenant with us which make us come boldly to the throne of grace without the shed of any animal blood but by  his blood. And one of the promises God made with us is that his laws would be in our hearts making Christ the mediator of this new covenant.

Conclusion:
It is important for all believers to value the new covenant because it has broken the barriers between man and God; and more importantly it has implanted Gods laws in our minds.
