"'Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah---'" (Jeremiah 31:31) "by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant." (Hebrews 7:22) "But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises." (Hebrews 8:6) "to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel." (Hebrews 12:24) "But he who is joined to the Lord is one Spirit with Him." (1 Corinthians 6:17) "'And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.'"

(John 17:22-23) Great verses there. Hard to see how when the revelation of God in Scripture as a whole including the NT is understood, ppl can still want to stay in the OT order of things.
