In this week's reading Jeremiah Burroughs discusses the dangers we run into by not sanctifying God's name by hearing His Word. He mentions that it is up to us how we hear the Word of God. (204) In many ways people come to and understanding that The Law is everything we need. However as we see on page 207 The Law is only something, "you hear in your ears"(207) or as I think of it; It is written on your mind. Think about it, The Law whether it be the Old Testament Law or the Governments Law was written on our minds by our parents and teachers. BUT The Gospel was written on our hearts by God. This isn't something parents or teachers could have done, only God could do this. The Law is something we hear and it is Gods word however Gods Gospel is written on our hearts and we hear it but we also try to understand it and grasp it so that we use it for Gods Glory!
How Did the Gospel come to be on our Hearts? Could this relate to Election? Where do you stand?
