    1. What do we mean by “new” when we talk about the new Covenant?

    Ezekiel 36:26-27   And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.  And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.

    v 7 And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
