Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
This is the New Covenant in a nutshell. Which is the fulfillment of this prophecy;
Ezekiel 36:24-28
24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
The Old Covenant was a covenant that relied on men keeping their part of it. Men, of course, could not uphold their part and broke the covenant.
The New Covenant relies purely on our faith that God upholds ALL the requirements of His New Covenant with us.

With the response you gave me tells me that you go into the Scriptures to interpret it to fit your view.
Read Jeremiah 31:31-34, then cross-reference with Hebrews 8:8-10 and I will guarantee you will still not see it life many Gentile believers.
