In order to understand the importance of the foundation of the New Covenant, we need first to look at the Old Covenant and see its role in the life of God s people. Right from the start, Jehovah showed Himself to the Israelites as a God of holiness and righteousness. The Ten Commandments that Moses brought down from the mountain revealed a God who wanted His people to be holy and righteous, and to worship Him, and Him alone. Under the New Covenant, this has not changed. Today, God still wants us to live holy and righteous lives
