“ Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Jeremiah 31.31-34
Praise Jesus for the new covenant: his gospel. In this gospel, the Spirit of God is put in us and the righteousness of Christ works within us. The Father himself wants all of us to know him as his children, not just clergy or superstars. We are fully forgiven, fully redeemed, fully known, and fully loved. This is very good news.
