The blank slate. God said in the Scriptures that he would write his laws in our hearts. So how does that translate to our daily lifestyle of following Christ? What does it mean to have the laws of God written in your heart?
In reality, we do not act out of our minds by reason or thinking; we operate out of our hearts. That sounds so odd and unusual in our society because of the strong emphasis on educating the brain.
The results have given us a generation of people who exhibit selfish and harmless activities void of heart, passion, and purpose.
When the scriptures tell us that "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he, "it is not referring to a metaphor of some kind, and it is speaking of the actual human response to life which proceeds out of the hearts of the human.
As young Christians, we sang the song "come into my heart Lord Jesus come in today, come in to stay, come into my heart or Jesus."
So if God writes his laws on our hearts, there must be room for them to be written. When the heart is filled with man's ways, there is no way for God to begin to apply the truth of the kingdom of God to that man.
If the laws of God, i.e., the revelation of Jesus Christ as Lord, are applied to a heart filled with man's ways, it becomes religion.
Every religion is Spond out of someone trying to apply the revelation of the kingdom of God through Jesus Christ over their own perceived ideas of life and eternity.
So we must have a blank slate of hearts ready to receive the complete revelation of grace applied through the blood of Jesus Christ.
How do we prepare our heart so that it may receive a pure revelation of Jesus?
It's the simple act of believing and repenting.
Believing is an active submission that cleans the heart to receive.
Repentance is the process of a man shedding his opinion of himself being the ruler of his own life and changing his mind to that fact.
Tradition calls that salvation.
I call it a clean slate. Now God can write His law on my heart.
