God's Will for Us

God's will for us is in the everlasting covenant. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me (Jeremiah 32:40). Through the everlasting covenant, know what God's will is for us. God's will is to work in us through Christ, our great Shepherd (Hebrews 13:20-21).

And I will make an everlasting covenant with them. This is a remarkable contrast with the old covenant law. It was a temporary covenant (Hebrews 8:13). The people of God broke it. It was conditional, based upon the peoples obedience. God's will for us as believers is in the everlasting covenant. Know what God will do in us, based upon the obedience of Christ Jesus. 

I will not turn away from doing them good. Under the conditional promises of the old covenant law, God had to turn away from doing good to His people, because of their sins and transgressions. Their disobedience brought the curse of the law. God's will for us through the everlasting covenant is in Christ, who died to take away the curse of sin for every believer. God will not turn away from doing us good.

I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me. Under the old covenant law, God's people turned away from Him, even to the point of serving false gods in idolatry. Know God's will for us revealed in the everlasting covenant. He will change our hearts (Romans 2:28-29). God's will is to put His fear in our hearts, that we will not turn away from Him.
