—Jeremiah 31:31-34
by: Gem Barton.
I always wondered how people made covenants and broke them without giving thought to the seriousness of it. I have concluded that many such promises may have been made with the lips and not from the depth of the heart. In Jeremiah, God ensured that in the next covenant He made with His people, His laws would be imprinted on their minds and hearts. Hebrews 10:16 applies this promise to the New Covenant brought by Christ. This time around no one will need to be reminded about God (Romans 2:15). Is it not wonderful to have the laws of God written on our hearts and to live in eternal covenant with Him?
