The Lord’s unspeakable love and tender mercies for Israel was the grounds of His election of them. (Deuteronomy 7:6-7) This everlasting character of the old covenant was first affirmed to Abraham in Genesis 17:7 and here in Jeremiah 31:3 is a sign of the reestablishment of the broken covenant talked about in Jeremiah 9:24, “But let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord, Who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight, declares the Lord.” But with the shed blood of Jesus on the Cross, the new covenant was established…a covenant of grace, redemption, and the promised hope of eternal life.
