The New Covrenant Obsoletes The First One

Hebrews 8:7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. But God found fault with the people ...

Hebrews 8:13 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

Hebrews 10:
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:
16 "This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord.  I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.
17 Then he adds: “Their sins and lawless acts  I will remember no more.

18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what; the ancients were commended for.

Hebrews 11:12 And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore. 
  
Hebrews 13:20 Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, 21 equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Our covenant of love and peace, not war, terror, fear, hate, and anger. 
I believe many have lost track of this,
