What is the New Covenant promise?The New Covenant involves God putting His law into our minds and writing them on our hearts, using the Holy Spirit as the finger of God just as He wrote on stone tablets.Hebrews 8:8

Giving God the credit for our desireIf you have a desire to do God's will, you must never take credit for it or think you are better than others; the Holy Spirit wrote that desire in your mind.

The difference between mind and heartGod writes His laws in the mind to give us the desire to do His will, and in the heart to give us the ability and strength to carry it out.

Strengthening the heart with graceBelievers must not be carried away by various human theories and teachings, but rather let their hearts be strengthened with grace to do God's will.Hebrews 13:9

Knocking down giants of sinGod's grace empowers us so that sin has no power over us, allowing us to knock down giants like pornography, anger, or drinking habits with one blow.

God at work in usGod works inside us through the Holy Spirit to make us willing and to work His good pleasure, requiring us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.Philippians 2:13

When a verse finally hits youSpiritual truth often requires repetition so that we are gripped by it, much like a simple scripture verse acting as an anchor for a ship.John 6:37

Moving from defeat to victoryInstead of being discouraged and condemning yourself over personal defeat, come to Jesus in faith, believing He will provide both the desire and the grace to obey.
