This is why Jesus can broker a completely new agreement between God and us. His death paid for all the ways people messed up under the old system, so now everyone God calls can actually receive that eternal inheritance he promised.

And he said, 'I have been passionate and devoted to the LORD God Almighty, because the people of Israel have abandoned your agreement with them, torn down your altars, and killed your prophets with swords. I am the only one left, and now they're trying to kill me too.'
