VIII. MAIN BODY:
A. New Covenant made with the house of Israel
"For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord:"
Hebrews 10:16-17 (Amplified Bible)
10:16 This is the agreement (testament, covenant) that I will set up and conclude with them after those days, says the Lord: I will imprint My laws upon their hearts, and I will inscribe them on their minds (on their inmost thoughts and understanding),
10:17 He then goes on to say, And their sins and their lawbreaking I will remember no more.
Jeremiah 31:33-34 (Amplified Bible)
31:33 But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, says the Lord, I will put My law within them, and on their hearts will I write it; and I will be their God, and they will be My people.
31:34 And they will no more teach each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know the Lord, for they will all know Me [recognize, understand, and be acquainted with Me], from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will [seriously] remember their sin no more.
The House of Israel pertains to the nation of Israel physically and to the Israel of GOD (figuratively)
Galatians 6:16 (Amplified Bible)
6:16 Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule [who discipline themselves and regulate their lives by this principle], even upon the [true] Israel of God!
So this entire promise of GOD are for both the physical Israelites and the CHRISTians.
B. These are the terms of the New Covenant:
1. GOD will imprint His Laws in our minds
"I will imprint My laws upon their minds,"
2 Corinthians 3:3 (Amplified Bible)
3:3 You show and make obvious that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, not written with ink but with [the] Spirit of [the] living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
GOD's Laws this time are not printed on stones but on the human heart of every CHRISTians. You won't be able to forget GOD's WORDS as long as you fill your minds with them.
Colossians 1:9 (Amplified Bible)
1:9 For this reason we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray and make [special] request for you, [asking] that you may be filled with the full (deep and clear) knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God] and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things—
2. GOD will imprint His Laws upon our innermost thoughts and understanding
"even upon their innermost thoughts and understanding,"
2 Corinthians 3:8-10 (Amplified Bible)
3:8 Why should not the dispensation of the Spirit [this spiritual ministry whose task it is to cause men to obtain and be governed by the Holy Spirit] be attended with much greater and more splendid glory?
3:9 For if the service that condemns [the ministration of doom] had glory, how infinitely more abounding in splendor and glory must be the service that makes righteous [the ministry that produces and fosters righteous living and right standing with God]!
3:10 Indeed, in view of this fact, what once had splendor [the glory of the Law in the face of Moses] has come to have no splendor at all, because of the overwhelming glory that exceeds and excels it [the glory of the Gospel in the face of Jesus Christ].
GOD's LAWS this time in this New Covenant we are living are imprinted on our innermost thoughts and understanding.
Imprint or write came from the Greek word: "epigrapho" meaning to write upon, inscribe, metaphorically to write upon the mind.
3. GOD will engrave His Laws upon our hearts
"and engrave them upon their hearts;"
Heart came from the Greek word: "kardia" meaning:
a. that organ in the animal body which is the centre of the circulation of the blood, and hence was regarded as the seat of physical life
b. denotes the centre of all physical and spiritual life
c. the vigour and sense of physical life
d. the centre and seat of spiritual life - the soul or mind, as it is the fountain and seat of the thoughts, passions, desires, appetites, affections, purposes,
It is engraved like engraved on precious stones, the center jewel or gem is GOD'S WORDS.
4. GOD will be our GOD, and we shall be His people
"and I will be their God, and they shall be My people."
Losing your trust in GOD will lose your meaning of life. GOD is our Life and in Him we live, move and have our being.
Romans 9:25-26 (The Message)
9:25 Hosea put it well: I'll call nobodies and make them somebodies; I'll call the unloved and make them beloved.
9:26 In the place where they yelled out, "You're nobody!" they're calling you "God's living children."
Titus 2:14 (The Message)
2:14 He offered himself as a sacrifice to free us from a dark, rebellious life into this good, pure life, making us a people he can be proud of, energetic in goodness.
Exodus 19:5-6 (The Message)
19:5 If you will listen obediently to what I say and keep my covenant, out of all peoples you'll be my special treasure. The whole Earth is mine to choose from,
19:6 but you're special: a kingdom of priests, a holy nation.' "This is what I want you to tell the People of Israel."
Illustrations:
In regard to this great book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it. Abraham Lincoln
—Great Thoughts
It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible. George Washington
—Great Thoughts
Now that there's no more praying allowed in school, the kids may have to go to motels just to read a Bible.
—Great Thoughts
IX. CONCLUSION:
GOD's WORD is a bankable asset, and it must be hidden in the vaults of our hearts, so bankrupt of sin will not enter us.
Declare with faith:
Thank You LORD JESUS You made me the Israel of GOD, for Your WORDS are treasured inside the vault of my hearts, never to be stolen and this is the wealth with no sorrow that have already made me rich.
Psalms 119:11 (The Message)
119:11 I've banked your promises in the vault of my heart so I won't sin myself bankrupt.
