I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God. Jeremiah 31:33

Today's Scripture Jeremiah 31:31-34

Today's Insights Jeremiah 31:31-34 is quoted in Hebrews 8:8-12 (the longest Old Testament Scripture quotation in the New Testament). The author of Hebrews says that Jesus, who is seated at God’s right hand (8:1), is the mediator of the new and better covenant between God and His people (vv. 6-7). Chapter 10 emphasizes the superior work of Christ: “But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God . . . . For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy” (vv. 12, 14). Jeremiah 31 is quoted again in verses 16-17, reminding us that through Christ, God transforms the hearts of those who trust in Him. When we confess our sins, He forgives them and “will remember [them] no more” (Hebrews 10:17).

Today's Devotional Like many people who struggle with pornography, Russell was exposed to it at a young age. The desire to use it was overpowering, and it poisoned his heart. “My life [became] completely saturated by it,” he writes, “so much so that it was like a cancer that was deeply rooted into my very fiber.” By God’s grace, he was finally set free of porn’s power—along with other addictions—when he received salvation in Jesus and was transformed from the inside out. “I credit it all to Jesus Christ, . . . [He’s] the one who delivered me,”ussell says.

Jeremiah delivered a message from God to Israel that one day He would “put [His] law in their minds and write it on their hearts” (31:33). Under this new covenant, fulfilled in Christ (Hebrews 8:6-13), all people could be transformed by God’s grace through faith. And now, “his Spirit . . . lives in [us]” (Romans 8:11), and God’s moral law has been written on our hearts. For Russell, and for all who believe, the Holy Spirit’s power provides what’s needed to turn from harmful behavior that displeases God and seeks to destroy us.

Transformation isn’t always instantaneous or easy. But let’s remember that when we’re dealing with difficult—even addictive—sin, God can transform our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33). He says, you “will know me” (v. 34 nlt), and we can also know His heart-changing power.

Reflect & Pray

Why is it possible to turn from even chronic sin in God’s power? How can you live out your new heart with the Spirit’s help? Loving God, thank You for transforming my heart. By Tom Felten

我要将我的律法放在他们里面，写在他们心上。我要作他们的神。（耶利米书 31:33）

今日经文：耶利米书 31章31-34节

今日感悟：耶利米书31:31-34 被引用在希伯来书8:8-12 中（这是新约圣经中引用的最长的旧约经文）。希伯来书的作者说，耶稣坐在上帝的右边（8:1），他是上帝与祂子民立的新约和更美之约的中保（6-7节）。第10章强调基督卓越的工作：“但这位祭司献了一次永远有效的赎罪祭，就坐在神的右边……因为祂一次献祭，就使那些得以成圣的人永远完全”（12、14节）。耶利米书31章在 16-17节再次被引用，提醒我们，藉着基督，上帝改变了那些信靠祂的人的心灵。当我们认罪时，祂会赦免我们的罪，并且“不再记念”（希伯来书 10:17）。

今日灵修：像许多与色情成瘾作斗争的人一样，拉塞尔从小就接触色情内容。使用色情内容的强烈欲望毒害了他的心灵。“我的生活完全被它占据，”他写道，“以至于它就像一种深深扎根于我生命深处的癌症。”靠着上帝的恩典，当他接受耶稣的救恩并从内到外得到改变时，他最终摆脱了色情和其他成瘾的束缚。拉塞尔说：“我把这一切都归功于耶稣基督……是祂拯救了我”。

耶利米向以色列传达了上帝的信息，有一天祂会“将我的律法放在他们里面，写在他们心上”（31:33）。在这个在基督里成就的新约之下（希伯来书 8:6-13），所有的人都可以藉着信心，靠着上帝的恩典得到改变。如今，“他的灵……住在我们里面”（罗马书 8:11），神的道德律法已经写在我们的心上。对于拉塞尔以及所有信徒来说，圣灵的能力提供了我们所需的一切，使我们能够摆脱那些令神不悦并试图毁灭我们的有害行为。改变并非总是瞬间发生或轻而易举。但让我们记住，当我们面对那些难以克服的罪——甚至是成瘾的罪——时，神能够改变我们的心（耶利米书 31:33）。他说，你们“必认识我”（34节，新普及译本），我们也能够体验到他改变人心的能力。

反思与祷告为什么靠着神的能力，我们甚至能够摆脱根深蒂固的罪？你如何靠着圣灵的帮助，活出你在基督里的新生命？慈爱的神，感谢你改变了我的心灵。
