In the Old Testament times God made a covenant with the nation of Israel. He would be their God and they would be His people. But Israel failed to keep their part of the covenant, they were supposed to be a light to all the other nations to show God's ways.So God has made a new covenant, it is sealed with the blood of Jesus, it is to all who believe that Jesus is the son of God and that he died as a sacrifice for sin.Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.Joh 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.If you believe this then you will be saved from the judgment that all people will face - that is God's promise.

Being sorry is a start to comming back to Christ, but being sorry is not enough, one has to feel a deep sorrow at having offended God by your actions. So deep is that sorrow that nothing is more important in your life than to covenant with God that you will not repeat those sins again, so that He will send His spirit to comfort you in your sorrow. You will know for a surity that you are forgiven. Remember the covenant is made between yourself and God. He will keep His side of the promise, it will be up to you to see that you keep yours.

Why did God make the first covenant when he knew he was going to replace it?
The old covenant was to show us our sins. The Bible says in Romans 7:7, "What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet." God knew in His wisdom that we needed to fully understand our inability to reach God by our own efforts. So He sent us the old covenant to show us that. No man is able to keep the old covenant perfectly, except Jesus. Galatians 5:24-25 says,"Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster."God, in His wisdom, knew we would never see that we cannot save ourselves, unless we saw just how sinful we really are. No man is able to obey perfectly every law of the old covenant. But we needed to learn that, so we would see our need for Jesus. Many things in the old covenant are a "type," or a picture, of things in the new covenant. In the old covenant they had to sacrifice an unblemished lamb for their sins. Jesus came as the Lamb of God, to take away our sins.
