A Promise of the New Covenant
Commentators widely interpret God's promise to 'establish my covenant' as a reference to the New Covenant in Christ. Unlike the previous covenant which was broken by human sin, this one is established solely by God's grace and faithfulness. Scholars like Ellicott and Henry see its ultimate fulfillment in the gospel, where God's promises are secured not by our efforts, but by His.
