PROMISE #193 - JULY 12
Promise #193:
I have put My law within you and have written it on your heart.
Jeremiah 31:33 (WEB)
But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says Yahweh:
I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it;
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:
In this promise, the Lord tells Israel that a day is coming when He will place His very law in their inward parts and write it on their hearts. They will no longer struggle to walk in God's plan and purpose for them because His plan and purpose will be inside them.
When Jesus died and rose from the dead, He heralded a new covenant. He exchanged our lives for His. Everything that Jesus is has now become ours. The law of our God has now been written on our hearts because our old life has died, and our new life is hidden with Christ in God.
Because of Jesus, His God has become our God, and we have become His people. What a glorious promise and the fulfillment of the new covenant God spoke of in Jeremiah's day. We are no longer separate from God and His ways, for God lives in and through us by the power of His Holy Spirit. We can rest in this amazing truth because God has written His law on our hearts!
