Here, then, are so many pledges from the Author and Originator of the New Covenant. They shall have “My” laws in their mind, so as to understand them, for I will put them there. They shall receive them cordially, and love them, and rejoice in them, for I will write them on their hearts; I will be a God to them to the utmost extent of My power or perfections, to befriend them, to secure, enrich, ennoble, and glorify them. And they shall be to Me a people, for a charge and a care, a lot, a portion, and an inheritance, and a delightful land, so that I will feed them, and guide them, and rule them, and reign over and among them; and they shall be to Me a name, an honour, a glory, and a joy; “a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of their God.”—Amen.
