A New Covenant Written On The Heart

Jeremiah 31:31-34

³¹ "The time is coming," declares the LORD,
"when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah.

³² It will not be like the covenant
I made with their forefathers
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they broke my covenant,
though I was a husband to them,"
declares the LORD.

³³ "This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel
after that time," declares the LORD.
"I will put my law in their minds
and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.

³⁴ No longer will a man teach his neighbor,
or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,'
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest,"
declares the LORD.
"For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more."

A covenant relationship is a special relationship between two parties. It is an agreement of promise and commitment, like the one made between a husband and a wife. For a covenant relationship to blossom, both parties must adhere to the requirements of the covenant.
In this passage, we see God announcing through His prophet his intention to make a new covenant with His people. He has seen how easily His people in the past violated the relationship with Him when they failed to keep their commitment.

But instead of abandoning His people as a punishment for their infidelity and way ward tendencies, God offered them a new covenant, not because they deserve it but because He loved them.

Thankfully, our God is a God of grace and mercy. One who forgives sins and chooses not to remember the sins he has forgiven. In the new covenant relationship, He will inscribe His law in our heart for it to take a more central role in the transforming of our inner being, in forming our character and in governing the way we think and the way we live. It is a covenant relationship where to know God personally is to know Him both with our head and our heart.
Commitment:
Those selfish desires form the centre of my heart to make way for Christ and the inscription of God’s law.

Prayer:
O Lord who loves us and who has inscribe Your law in our heart, teach us to know You, and love You as we ought, with our head and our heart to remain faithful in covenantal relationship with You.
