So, believer.. how do you read? "Thou shall not".. if carnal you will read "Don't do!!!" and like Paul you will struggle. But, Romans Chapter 8 unveils the mystery of the New Covenant.. Jeremiah looked forward to this day in Chapter 31 as does the book of Hebrews when they spoke of the mystery of "Christ in us the HOPE of Glory." Jesus hinted at this when speaking of John the Baptist. Christ said of John, that "he was the greatest ever born of woman...but the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." If you would, Jesus was pointing to a single difference between the Old and New Covenants.. if you would, John,was still in the drivers seat of his life..A new day would be coming, and now is when the believer lets the Spirit of God drive the car.. Life lived in submission to the Spirit of God allows us the privilige to read "Thou Shall Not" as "Thou Will Not" or "Wont Do".. God actually rights His will on fleshly tables of the heart. The heart is known for being the central boilermaker of the will and if God lives in the Heart the behaviors grow like fruit from the vine.
