A Direct Knowledge of God
Commentators explain that a key promise of the New Covenant is a direct, personal, and internal knowledge of God for every believer. Unlike the Old Covenant, where knowledge was often mediated by priests, the Holy Spirit now gives every Christian an intimate, foundational understanding of God. This knowledge is described as being written on the heart, making it personal and experiential.
