His law is “written on the hearts” of men.
People internally know when they’re opposing God.
Some tell themselves they’re not and perhaps convince themselves, sort of.
Some people will hide their sin and lie to cover up. “What I’m doing is ok”. “I didn’t do that”.
Some unsaved profess Christ - they are liars, wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Some people revel their sin and do not cover it up.
On the other hand,
One who is saved feels an overpowering feeling of needing to get right with God; to repent. They will come to be repulsed by their own sin, and thus come back to God repenting.
Of course, those who are saved will see progressive sanctification in their lives.
They’ll want to study the Word of God, they’ll want to be obedient to Christ. They’ll have trials and setbacks, but they’ll persevere through to the end in their lives.
They’ll realize and admit that it’s nothing for them to boast of, what they’ve done and said well in their life, they give the glory to God for these things.
Good post.
When is the law written into the hearts of man? Is it at salvation or is it part of sanctification or is it future Millennial Kingdom?
I know for the Jews, it’s future Millennial. I was under the impression it is part of our continuing sanctification process, but I need to restudy this point.
