Hebrews 8:10

Hebrews 10:16

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

You leave out the most powerful and meaningful part of the New Covenant:

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. In that he says, A new covenant, he has made the first old. Now that which decays and waxes old is ready to vanish away. Heb 8:12-13.

And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Heb 10:17.

This is the meaning of Jesus' cry, "It is finished!" Jesus did it all. We are redeemed, not by our works but by His blood. This is the gospel of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Another gospel of justification by the works of the law is cursed. Haggard and I and anyone who receives Jesus were forgiven 2000 years ago. The issue now is not sin but Christ. Receiving Christ gives us eternal life apart from how "bad" we are. Refusing to receive Christ brings death apart from how "good" we are.
