This reveals at the most basic and personal level why Paul preached that it was now longer necessary for Jews to follow the Law. The “Law” now emanates from within via the Holy Spirit and one no longer needed rules as the Light of Christ provided all true guidance. Idea certainly rejected by Jews and one reason why Jesus Movement within Judaism evaporated yet grew in the pagan and gentile populations. No longer following the Law violated all Jewish tradition and was seen as blasphemy but such is the nature of the New Covenant in Christ. We “obey from the heart…”

Great comment, Carl. I hadn’t connected the Law/heart /Holy Spirit that way before. Thank you for sharing your insight.
What a powerful picture with that scripture, Patricia! Thank you for ministering to us in this way! God bless you!
I am happy to have found this small way to share my faith with others. Thank you for your encouragement
