The Holy Spirit and the new Covenant in the Bible: "For the letter kills but the Spirit gives life."

The bible teaches us about a new covenant between humanity and God through Jesus: “He has made us competent as minister of a new covenant - not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life”, 2 Corinthians 3:6

The covenant with Moses was imperfect and resided in the letter, the law. And this pact was perfected, in a new alliance, through the intelligence, that makes us drop the veil of reason, and that the Holy Spirit grants us:
"Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veils remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts." 2 Corinthians 3:12-15.
Jesus teaches us this new covenant when the law of Moses is opposed to the wisdom of the spirit in John 8: 7; a prostitute was found committing adultery and by law must be stoned, Jesus responds with the wisdom that comes from God: "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her", John 8:7.
This new covenant is a change of heart towards God and neighbor: "Love your neighbor as yourself", Mark 12:31. It is through Jesus that we enter the Kingdom of God, he is the "son of man". The kingdom of God is the dominion, empire of the perfections of God; and Jesus personifies those perfections: Jesus personifies the wisdom of God: "I am the bread of life", John 6:34, "I am the door", John 10:9. Jesus personifies the eternal life (the guide of god): "I am the light", John 8:12, "I am the good shepherd", John 10:11.
The new covenant is based on the freedom of the spirit and the action of the holy spirit among believers: "Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect", Matthew 5:48; "Be merciful as your heavenly Father is merciful", Luke 6:36, "Be holy because I am holy " 1 Peter 1:16.
