The old covenant of law is based on "you shall not... you shall not... you shall not..." while the new covenant of grace is the Lord saying, "I will... I will... I will..." It is clear that the emphasis and demand of the covenant of law (the 10 Commandments) is on your performing, while the emphasis and demand of the covenant of grace is on God Himself performing! He will do everything on our behalf. In fact, because Jesus has already completed the redemptive finished works for us, He has already done everything on our behalf. Remember, Christianity is "done, done, done," not "do, do, do." Jesus came to establish the new covenant of grace, and under this new covenant, God is no longer angry with you because His anger and wrath have already been exhausted on the body of Jesus in the redemptive finished works.
