The Law Written on the Heart

"The carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be." Rom. 8:7. But when the sinner enters into covenant relation with God, and submits, according to the terms of the new covenant (Jer. 31:31-34) to have the law written upon his heart, he is transformed by the renewing of his mind (Rom. 12:2); he becomes a new creature in Christ Jesus (2 Cor. 5:17), and he can say with the psalmist: "I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right." And, "My tongue shall speak of thy word; for all thy commandments are righteousness." Ps. 119:127, 128, 172.
