Can Someone Violate the New Covenant?

Covenant Theology sees the New Covenant as an 'administration' of the Covenant of Grace. [WCF 7.6] Looking at Hebrews 8 regarding the New Covenant we see it is quoting a truncated text of Jeremiah 31.

The Jeremiah text is clarifying that this is not like the Mosaic Covenant - the text reads

not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers the day THAT I took them by the hand to bring them out of Egypt

The text does not say

it will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers, when I led them out of Ur of the Chaldees.

However, in Jer 31:33, the New Covenant is couched in Abrahamic Terms with the usage of

And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

We should apply the New Covenant in the same way as it is making this distinction. That is why Traditional Reformed Theology has a distinction between:

1. Covenant of Redemption - Christ shedding his blood on the cross for ONLY the Elect
2. Covenant of Grace, where we see God offering to a people to be their God.
(This distinction is explicitly stated in the ‘Sum of Saving Knowledge’ a handbook for laity to help understand the Westminster Standards penned by some of the Divines)

When the Jeremiah passage is talking about writing the law we see it as a relative distinction since it is talking about Moses, which was marked by (as the rabbis counted them) 613 mostly ceremonial and civil laws. It does not deny the Moral Law.

Just as the Covenant of Grace in the Old Testament included believers and their progeny, we see that unfolding in the New Testament era. Showing that the New Covenant is an administration of the Covenant of Grace and Hebrews 8 is talking about a covenant for God to be a god to a peoples publically. That is the main focus of Hebrews 8, as opposed to what some would say a covenant where Gods to redeem persons within that peoples effectually.

Given this distinction, we broaden our scope within the book of Hebrews. How should we understand Hebrews 6:4-6 & Hebrews 10:26-31?

HE6 states that "partakers of the Holy Ghost" fall away.
HE10 states that these who fall away were sanctified by "the blood of the covenant".

Do we understand this to mean they were in a Covenant of Redemption? The Elect don't fall away, but there is a fearful admonishment to those who would break/violate a covenant here in these passages. Here we begin to see that the "New Covenant" is not synonymous with the Covenant of Redemption, but the Covenant of Grace.

Covenant Theology would see those as separate; particularly with the evidence in Hebrews 9:14-17. The use of testament here (the Greek root is the same but the noun case is different than the use of covenant in Hebrews 8) A covenant is an

agreement or contract that binds two or more parties together by promises, conditions, and sanctions.

A testament in Heb. 9 is a

voluntary act and deed of a single being bestowing legacies as described.

Since Covenant Theology sees the Covenant of Redemption as being made in eternity past within the Trinity, The use of testament here is appropriate as opposed to the language in Hebrews 8.

Essentially, just as Israelites of the Old Testament could break/violate the Covenant of Grace (Romans 9:6) so to can the people of God (i.e. the Visible Church) today.

Johnathan Edwards Resolutions

3. Resolved, if ever I shall fall and grow dull, so as to neglect to keep any part of these Resolutions, to repent of all I can remember, when I come to myself again.
