notice the words "not on tables of stone".
What was written on tables of stone? The 10 commandments/the law.
but the law on stone only brought death because we are sinners breaking it. but if that same law is written on our hearts.
what does God write on our hearts in the new covenant?
Heb 8:10 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:
notice the "Law is written on our "hearts".
The law on the heart is a clean and new heart that obeys Gods law perfectly because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
as it is written:
Psa 51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Psa 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Psa 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Psa 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
Psa 51:13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
this is the power of God in Christ Jesus who died for our sins.
Eze 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
Eze 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
Eze 36:27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
God gives us a new heart with the law written on it and the Holy Spirit which causes us to keep his laws. praise His name, this is imputed righteousness. The free gift of God in Christ. True freedom from sin. this is not in mans power to do, but by faith we may all claim in the name of Jesus this new heart which enables us to obey perfectly Gods law.
