When the Lord called us into His Kingdom, He gave us a new heart. The old heart was a dead thing, made of stone. The old heart could only accept the letter of the law and could only attempt to obey with legalism and mechanical behavior changes. The new heart, however, can hear the voice of the Lord, and therefore can obey out of love.
2 Corinthans 3:3 - NKJV
clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.
Since we are part of God's message of love and hope to this dying world, it is imperative that we stay soft and submissive to His voice. We must tune our ear to recognize Him. And then, we can be the living, breathing Gospel preached to all we encounter.
Be encouraged,
Jose
