The Law Giver Lives In Us

Jeremiah 31:31-34
"31 “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,
32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord.
33 “But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
34 They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”

There was a day when God dwelt in a temple in Jerusalem, after Christ died and rose from the dead He sent His Holy Spirit to dwell in all those believers who trusted in Him.

Now that temple is no longer a building but in many human bodies. This temple possesses the perfect Holy Spirit containing all wisdom, growing and learning every day until Christ returns for us.

This temple contains the law of God, no longer under that law being condemned by it, but rather the possessor of that Law, the holder and protector of it.

Do we have to follow a rule to feed ourselves food? No, I suggest that we don't have to think about whether or not to feed ourselves, it is normal and natural to do so even without thinking much. Similarly, we do not have to work hard to "keep" the Law, it is part of us, redirecting us when we fall, reminding us Who we belong to.

Those who have been changed by Christ into a new creation, once fought against the principles of the law hating them. After we were changed into a new creation we fell in love with God's Law wanting to use it to show others their sinful nature so that they too will desire to be cleansed by Christ.

We were once loved by the world because we enjoyed sin for a season as the world does. After we became born again, we hated sin, so much so that we run from the temptation of it. When we are weak and give in to the urges to sin, we are miserable until we confess it to be cleansed and never want to return to it.

We no longer enjoy those people who are still in the world, living every day for their own pleasure. We enjoy the people of God who encourage us in righteousness, bringing new insight into the Words of God while praying for our well being.

Israel, as written about in Jeremiah, will one day come to Christ experiencing this fullness of salvation though the shed blood of Christ. The nation of Israel is in the process right now, many are finding Christ within the nation, the end times events are falling into place right now.

What a blessing it is to learn that the Jews are going to come to Christ soon, and the times of the Gentiles will be finished, then the nation will trust their Messiah!
