Correct!

"Behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them," declares the LORD.  Jeremiah 31:31-32 (NAS)

The reason for the new covenant was clear.  The Old Covenant (the Law of Moses) had been broken.  In a spiritual sense, God was a husband to the children of Israel...and the Israelites were God's spiritual bride.  Just as a wife who breaks the covenant of marriage...the children of Israel had broken this covenant with God:

"...My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them..."  Jeremiah 31:32

A few verses later, God says:

"But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD, "I will put My law within them, and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." Jeremiah 31:33

How do you feel about the words of the New Covenant, also called the New Testament, being written on your heart?

Can you have it written on your heart, if you have never read it completely?
