From Hearts and Tablets of Stone to New Hearts

From Hearts and Tablets of Stone to New Hearts

 

 

 

God's altar of sacrifice isn't a man made altar, never could be. God's law written on stone, could never bring righteousness, for man's flesh abounds in sin under law, yet under grace, God spiritually writes the law upon a man's heart, and His voice through His Spirit, with man to seal him heal Him, and guide him. This is an illustration in Deuteronomy were God is showing the intent of His prece...pts, that man apart from spiritual rebirth could never relate, understand, or obtain:
"5 And there shalt thou build an altar unto the Lord thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them.
6 Thou shalt build the altar of the Lord thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the Lord thy God:
7 And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the Lord thy God.
8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.
9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the Lord thy God.
10 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the Lord thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day." Deuteronomy 27:5-10 KJV

 

     This is the heart, the crux of the matter, the very essence of what David wrote under the guide of the Holy Spirit,  "¹⁰ Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." (Psalm 51:10 KJV)
