In Heb. 8: 8-11 we read: "For finding fault with them (ancient Israel), he saith, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest."

In Jeremiah 31: 31-34 we read: "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, sayeth the Lord: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; after those days, sayeth the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Notice that in verse thirty-two (Jeremiah 31: 32) God says that He was "a husband" to them. This is very important!

In Heb. 10: 16-17 we read these exact words: "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, sayeth the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them" ...

Folks, in the new covenant the law is written in the hearts and inner parts (mind) and not on tablets of stone. This is the main difference between the old and new covenant.

In Romans 2: 12 -- 15 we read: "For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which hath not the law (did not receive the law by the hands of Moses), do by nature (do naturally) the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: which shows the work of the law written in their hearts" ... These verses are saying that when you see the Gentiles doing naturally the things contained in the
