It sounds like your answer is yes, the process of God putting his law deep inside of us and writing it on our hearts is a slow process.Your response here...
Hi Leaf, the point of the scriptures provided in the post you are quoting from is to show that according to the scriptures Christian growth starts off as we are babes in Christ not knowing much of the Word of God and at these times God only holds us accountable to what we know not what we do not know *Acts of the Apostles 17:30-31; James 4:17. As we continue in God's Word Jesus says we are His disciples in John 8:31-36 and the promise is that the truth will free us from our sins. We should note here that being a disciple of Jesus is conditional on continuing in God's Word. That is seeking to know God through the scriptures and seeking to follow what God's Word says *Matthew 7:21. John 8:31-36 and John 17:17 along with John 6:63 are also more evidence along with all the scriptures provided in the post you are quoting from that Christian growth or as some call "sanctification" is a work of the lifetime as we continue learning of God through His Word we become more and more like Jesus as we seek by faith to follow what Jesus teaches us. So this is a continual process according to the scriptures as we live up to all the knowledge that God has revealed to us and continues to reveal to us as we seek Him through His Word. God's laws are written on our hear to love as God makes us aware of them as we seek Him through His Word.
God bless
I see it differently. I believe that when we are born again, God puts his law, his Torah, his way, deep inside of us. Then it takes a lifetime for our habits and lifestyles to conform to God's way written inside of us.
So we definitely see it differently there.
This is a bit off topic from the thread, though it may relate
Do you believe a person is born again and becomes a new creation basically all at once? Or is that a very slow process too, likely over many years or a lifetime?
