The New Covenant: God puts HIS laws directly into our hearts and minds

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...

After we are born again by the Spirit of God, God puts HIS laws for the New Testament church directly into our hearts and minds.

 

Hebrews 8:10-11 God says: For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put MY laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to ME a people:

11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know ME, from the least to the greatest.

 

 

Often God will put HIS own desire into our hearts so that we desire to do that thing even before the situation arises.

 

But if we are about to go in a way that would not be of God, HE can cause our heart to change to go even in a way opposite from that which we thought we wanted to go.

 

God just puts in our heart another desire and leads us that new way.

 

God shields us from those things that would not be beneficial for us.  And keeps us from that which would hurt us and destroy us.  And leads us into a more abundant life than we could have had otherwise.

 

And God even puts HIS own laws into our hearts and minds.

 

Hebrews 10:16   God says:  This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put MY laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

 

I John 2:27  But the anointing which ye have received of HIM abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in HIM

 

(Abide in that which God has told you.)

28 And now, little children, abide in HIM; that, when HE shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before HIM at HIS coming.

29 If ye know that HE is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of HIM.
