Jer 31:31 "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—
Jer 31:32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the LORD.
Jer 31:33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

The new covenant is the old covenant internalized. It's God's laws NOW written in our minds and our hearts. These are summed up by the ten commandments which are summed up by "love God and neighbor".

By the way this means the Sabbath commandment is STILL in force IF the other 9 are...

“The new covenant is the old covenant internalized.” It’s God’s laws NOW written in our minds and our hearts.”

So you’re saying all the Old Covenant is binding upon Christians, not just the ten commandments.

By the way, this means that not just the ten commandments are to be internalized, but all the Old Covenant: food laws, stoning sabbath breakers, Levitical priesthood, all of it. Send me a picture of your stoning a sabbath-breaker and I’ll know you believe this argument enough to obey it.
