The Law of the Heart

 Jeremiah 31:31-33

“Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 

not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 


He wants to write the Law on our hearts…not hearts of stone - but of flesh (Ezekiel 26:36)

Not the Law of the stone tablets - broken again and again…but the Law of Love, revealed, and completely and entirely fulfilled by Jesus Christ. A new covenant for a new heart - and a new heart for a fulfilled and accomplished Law. 


Because the only Way we can keep this Law of God is through the heart of God - which through the death and resurrection of His Son, he has now given to us. 

1Peter1:2-3

Colossians 3:1-3

Galatians 2:20
