A Law Written on the Heart
Commentators unanimously highlight that the new covenant's primary distinction is its internal nature. Unlike the old covenant's laws written on external stone tablets, God promises to write His laws directly "into their mind, and on their heart." This signifies a fundamental transformation where believers are given a new nature by the Holy Spirit, leading to a genuine desire and ability to obey God from within, not just from external compulsion.
