Hebrews 8:7 (KJV)
Commentary on Hebrews 8:7
If the first covenant 'had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.' This logical argument demonstrates the first covenant's inadequacy. The fault wasn't in God's law itself but in its inability to transform hearts and permanently remove sin. The very prediction of a new covenant (Jeremiah 31) proves God planned to replace the old. Reformed covenant theology sees this as progressive revelation, not contradiction.
