The Institute for Creation Research devotional article “The Writing of God” (www.icr.org/articles/print/15424) draws the contrast from the Scriptures between the personal writing of God on stone tablets in Exodus 32:16 in the Old Testament to the writing of God by the Spirit on tables of flesh in the believer’s heart (2 Corinthians 3:3, Hebrews 10:16) under the New Covenant. Paul calls such ones epistles of Christ whom can be known and read by all persons (2 Cor 3:2). Coupled with this is the anointing of the Spirit in each believer that enables him/her to discern and understand the spiritual truths of God, as stated by John, “But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie–just as it has taught you…” (1 John 2:27). In combination of these two–the divine law written on the heart and the anointing of the Spirit within the believer to bring understanding of divine truths–believers experience a consonance in their hearts with the teachings of the Bible that they would not otherwise have and in consequence become living testimonies of God to the world as they walk this out in every day life.
The Writing of God under the New Covenant

Raised a Catholic but became born again in young adulthood principally through reading Evidence that Demands a Verdict by Josh McDowell (I highly recommend it). I prefer the Reformed faith and subscribe to the Five Solas, but hold to baptism by immersion. I also hold to a continuationist view of the doctrine of Spiritual gifts. To me, the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, with a Christocentric theme in its entirety. I hold to an orthodox preterist hermeneutic and prefer the Postmillenial eschatology as the most biblical doctrine of God’s plan for His kingdom in Christ. View more posts
