[Yahya Sharif]

Yahshua came to fulfill the prophecies written about him and to bring about the New Covenant. Repentance is still required, along with Baptism.

“This is the covenant I will make with them after that time... I will remember their sins and lawless acts no more. And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.”
Hebrews 10:16–18

If sins are already forgiven through Christ’s sacrifice, then what is the purpose or necessity of repentance?

“The days are coming,” declares (the Lord / Yahwah,) “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel [nation] and with the people of [Judah / faithful.]

Jeremiah 31 NIV
31 “The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.
32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them, ” declares the LORD.
33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the LORD. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
34 No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the LORD. “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”

Jeremiah 31 JPS
31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah * ; 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; forasmuch as they broke My covenant, although I was a lord over them, saith the LORD. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the LORD, I will put My law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and  I will be their God, and they shall be My people **; 34 and they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying: ‘Know the LORD’; for they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.

*The covenant referenced in Jeremiah 31 is explicitly made with the house of Israel and the house of Judah—it remains a covenant with the Jewish people, not a universal one extended to the entire world. ** When G-d declares, "I will make a new covenant," there is no mention of sacrifice, baptism, Jesus, or even a Messiah. The language appears metaphorical rather than literal, suggesting a renewal or deepening of the original covenant rather than the establishment of an entirely new religious framework.

Question:
What leads to the conclusion that these verses are referring to the doctrines of Jesus? The passage does not reference Jesus, baptism, sacrifice, or a Messiah. Is the identification based solely on the phrase “a new covenant”?
