Did You Know?

What a promise in Hebrews 8:11, that with the new covenant ushered in by Jesus, we can know God, rather than needing to teach each other. Imagine the pre-Jesus time when you were just living according to a written law and your life was laid out for you in straight lines by the laws of the sacrifices, the procedures of the tabernacle and the ten commandments. Suddenly all of that is washed away and we have a new kind of walk with God where our walk is governed internally. We now have God's Spirit in us, guiding us each step of the way, rather than some external tradition. An incredible privilege and a far more natural way to live. Just as amazing is that a new-born believer can know God's way just by the inner conviction of the Holy Spirit, without even having to learn a rule.
