Direct Answer In the transcript’s terms, treating the law as “written on the heart” would mean living from an ongoing, daily relationship of “abiding” in Jesus—obeying as a response to love, not as a way to earn status. You would test your motives by whether obedience is tied to “abiding in my love,” producing love for others, and whether it leads to humility rather than judging.

Support from Transcript:

• Jeremiah 31: God says, “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts,” not “There will be no laws.”
• He says the New Covenant difference is internalization: “his laws are written on our hearts and in our minds” as we “abide with Jesus as branches on his vine.”
• Yet he still expects Scripture learning: “doesn’t mean we don’t have to read the New Testament,” but laws are “few enough… easily remember them.”
• He ties obedience to love: “If we don’t keep his commandments, we don’t love him.”
• He frames it as relationship: “They interact with him on a daily basis,” not mere “nominal” doctrinal knowledge.
• He warns about pride and judging in law #4 (introduced): “don’t develop spiritual pride… don’t start judging others.”
