Hebrews 8:10
10 … I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts…
What laws was God referring to when He said, “I will put My laws
in their mind and write them on their hearts”? He was certainly not
referring to the Ten Commandments, known as the laws of the old
covenant, since He said that He found fault with that covenant and
declared it obsolete. (Hebrews 8:7–9, 13)
The laws that God puts
in our minds and writes on our hearts refer to the royal law of love
(Matthew 22:37–40), the perfect law of liberty (James 1:25) and the law
of faith. (Romans 3:27) These are the laws of the new covenant.
You live according to
the laws of the new covenant when you are conscious of how much God
loves you. And the more you are conscious of His love for you, the more
your heart is filled with love. When that happens, you will love God and
the people around you supernaturally and effortlessly. That is God
writing on your heart the royal law of love — that we love because He
first loved us. (1 John 4:19)
Secondly, when you know
that you are perfectly accepted by God because of Jesus’ sacrifice, you
can have the courage and liberty as a child of God to come boldly into
the presence of your heavenly Father. And in His presence, He is able to
write on your heart new desires. You will find yourself wanting to do
the right thing at the right time. You will live life victoriously from
the inside out. This is the perfect law of liberty operating in your
life.
Thirdly, when you sense
what God is writing on your heart and putting in your mind, and as your
faith is activated causing you to trust Him and His love for you, He
calls it obeying the law of faith. When that happens, whatever you
believe, you receive!
My friend, God has made it easy — and you will find that it is exciting — to live life under the new covenant!
