Can you share the verses that specifically state what the laws are that are written on our hearts.
Look ~
OT men had 10 commandments written by the finger of God on tablets of stone.
Moses broke them.
Mose then carved in stone the 10 commandments of God.
Thereafter God spoke to Moses "His words", "His laws.
Moses spoke them to the people.
Later the "laws" began to be written.
As the people spread out, copies of the written laws were also made for the people.
Traditionally, the law was also spoken, repeated in the ears of children.
Centuries are passing by; and that ultimately AFFECTS the written laws.
Law are kept by the Hebrews;
Hebrews spread out, some have copies of the laws;
Some Hebrews continue in obeying the laws; some don't.
Those who don't; the knowledge of the laws become lost to them.
At times the Hebrews are captured;
At times their laws are destroyed;
At times their laws are rewritten from memory;
At times their laws are stolen;
At times their laws are kept in their Temples;
At times their laws are hidden in earthen vessels;
And to note:
men without the laws of God; make their own laws, their own gods, their own traditions.
Centuries later Jesus arrives on earth;
Jesus teaches his chosen disciples about Him, and about Gods Law.
The 10 commandments (except one) appear in the NT of written scripture.
The one exception is regarding the 4th commandment (ie the Sabbath day).
During Jesus' teaching He gives 2 commandments.
If you examine those 2 commandments closely, they are a culmination of all of the commandments of God and scripture tells you;
Matt 22:
[
37]
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[
38]
This is the first and great commandment.
[
39]
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[
40]
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
What is written in a mans (new) Heart are the two commandment of Jesus; the greater first, the lesser second.
It is impressed these commandments are not written in stone, as were the first 10 commandments.
It is impressed these commandments were not written in ink on paper (because remember Jesus was speaking, not reading from a text.) The (NT) text had not been written.
Jesus was speaking of Gods most important (Word) Laws being written IN a mans heart.
And IFY ~ they are NOT written in every mans heart. They are laws/commandments FOR a man who is committed himself in faithfulness to God. And such a man has received a NEW Heart from God; as part of the mans change (by God) for a man who has committed unto God in true faithfulness....and that "new" heart....every man with a "new" heart, is a man with these commandments written in his heart.
God Bless,
