TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Jeremiah 31:31-34
INSIGHT FOR TODAY
Jeremiah 31:31-34 is quoted in Hebrews 8:8-12 (the longest Old Testament Scripture quotation in the New Testament). The author of Hebrews says that Jesus, who is seated at God’s right hand (8:1), is the mediator of the new and better covenant between God and His people (vv. 6-7). Chapter 10 emphasizes the superior work of Christ: “But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God . . . . For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy” (vv. 12, 14). Jeremiah 31 is quoted again in verses 16-17, reminding us that through Christ, God transforms the hearts of those who trust in Him. When we confess our sins, He forgives them and “will remember [them] no more” (Hebrews 10:17). (Insight By: Arthur Jackson)
Our Daily Bread Devotional – 28th December 2025 | MESSAGE
Like many people who struggle with pornography, Russell was exposed to it at a young age. The desire to use it was overpowering, and it poisoned his heart. “My life [became] completely saturated by it,” he writes, “so much so that it was like a cancer that was deeply rooted into my very fiber.” By God’s grace, he was finally set free of porn’s power—along with other addictions—when he received salvation in Jesus and was transformed from the inside out. “I credit it all to Jesus Christ, . . . [He’s] the one who delivered me,” Russell says.
Jeremiah delivered a message from God to Israel that one day He would “put [His] law in their minds and write it on their hearts” (31:33). Under this new covenant, fulfilled in Christ (Hebrews 8:6-13), all people could be transformed by God’s grace through faith. And now, “his Spirit . . . lives in [us]” (Romans 8:11), and God’s moral law has been written on our hearts. For Russell, and for all who believe, the Holy Spirit’s power provides what’s needed to turn from harmful behavior that displeases God and seeks to destroy us.
Transformation isn’t always instantaneous or easy. But let’s remember that when we’re dealing with difficult—even addictive—sin, God can transform our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33). He says, you “will know me” (v. 34 nlt), and we can also know His heart-changing power. (Message By: Tom Felten)
REFLECT & PRAY
Why is it possible to turn from even chronic sin in God’s power? How can you live out your new heart with the Spirit’s help?
Loving God, thank You for transforming my heart.
