What does the Bible say about the law written on our hearts?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible indicates that God writes His law on the hearts of His people, referring to the New Covenant law of faith rather than the Old Covenant law.
Scripture teaches that God promises to put His law in the hearts of His people as seen in Jeremiah 31:33 and reiterated in Hebrews 10:16. While many assume this refers to the Old Covenant moral law, the content of this law concerns the New Covenant established in Christ. The Old Covenant law was given only to Israel, meant to demonstrate human inability to achieve righteousness. In contrast, the New Covenant law signifies that believers, as spiritual Israelites, are empowered by the Holy Spirit to live according to God's will through faith. Thus, what is written on our hearts is not a legalistic adherence to the Old Covenant but the transformative Holy Spirit leading us in the way of faith.
