“FORASMUCH as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.” 2 Cor. 3: 3.

Where did Paul find this manifest declaration?—It does not require much wisdom to see that the epistle that is now written in the hearts of believers by the Spirit of God, was once written in tables of stone. Jeremiah was the one who made the declaration: “But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts.”
