Jeremiah 31:31-34

JEREMIAH—NOTE ON Jeremiah 31:31 God’s people have a long-standing problem. Most are circumcised in body but so few are circumcised in heart (that is, truly know the LORD). God will remedy this problem. The benefits that God will provide—knowledge of the Lord and forgiveness—were all offered in the OT but all-too-rarely accepted.
