Law in the New Covenant?
"But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD. I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people." Jeremiah 31:33
"For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people." Hebrews 8:10
It is historically tragic but Israel rejected the New Covenant (Matthew 23:37); Israel rejected their Messiah sent to them specifically to proselytize them in the New Covenant as ministers of the Gospel and the Great Commission (Matthew 15:24); therefore, the Gentile has received the Commission - Ordination to preach the Gospel (Romans 11:25; Acts 13:46) but what "law" is now extant in the New Covenant subsequent the Law Covenant given Israel at Sinai through Moses?
The free will/volition of the Gentile has always been arbitrated by the spiritual law written upon the human heart at conception (Romans 2:14-15; 8:2; 7;6), infused within the human genome on Day-6 of Creation as human kind is created in the spiritual image of Elohim (Genesis 1:26-28) and possesses certain divine communicable attributes of Elohim; one such divine attribute is the spiritual law essential relevant to Elohim's eschatological purposes going forward as the spiritual law also acts as a bulwark against unrestrained narcissism that would inevitably culminate in societal implosion thus thwarting Messiah's primary mission concerning "the destruction of the works of the devil" (1 John 3:8b; Genesis 3:15).
I find it interesting that Elohim employs that same spiritual law, written upon the heart, in His New Covenant (Hebrews 10:16; 8:10; Jeremiah 31:33) except that it has been enlivened/made applicable in the life of the Christian through the redeemed conscience/the "new creation" (2 Corinthians 5:17) and it is the Holy Spirit who employs the spiritual law and the redeemed conscience to produce divine "fruit" (Galatians 5:22-23) in the life of the Christian during daily sanctification and this divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23) fulfills all law; after all, Jesus did say, "You will know them by their fruit" (Matthew 7:15-20).
