Heb. 8:10-11, “10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.”
How does He put His laws in our minds and write it on our hearts? By revealing His Son in us. We have the mind of Christ. Yesterday, 05/26/09, I was getting ready for work and I heard this to my spirit, “You are holy. You are now holy.” I thought, “Ok.” Then I thought again, “I am holy. I am.” I believe this could be an example of Him putting His laws into our minds. I did not just believe what I heard, but I knew it. I know now. It was deposited in me somehow.
Knowing and believing are different. Paul talks about a knowledge of truth after godliness, Titus 1:1. He says “knowledge” not faith. I believe we have understanding by faith, Heb. 11:3. This understanding permeates into our soul. This understanding becomes knowledge. This knowledge becomes who we are.
Paul says having a righteousness apart from works of the law, Phi. 3:9. How does this happen? By grace through faith. We hear. Then we hear His word. Then faith is. By faith, we have understanding unto knowledge. This knowledge becomes our actions, mannerisms, speech, motivation, perspective, reality, awareness, Acts 17: 28. I believe if something is written to our hearts then the motivation of our hearts is changed. He is writing His law even His will into our minds and hearts by revelation of the Word in us. Christ is the Word in us.
