What is the *Law* written in your heart of the New Covenant? See Jer. 31:33 & Heb. 8.10

Jer 31:33
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
The word "law" that is to be put in the inward parts and written on the hearts of the New Covenant believer is the "TORAH":

How can this be if Jesus nailed God's law to the cross as so many believe?
Or is there something wrong with that teaching?

1 John 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Here is the Greek word and definition for "grevious" in 1 John 5:3 is

"barys" Strong's G926

Outline of Biblical Usage

1) heavy in weight

2) metaph.

a) burdensome

b) severe, stern

c) weighty

1) of great moment

d) violent, cruel, unsparing

Note His commandments are NOT grevious, weighty, violent, cruel, unsparing


Note also Romans 7:12 -

So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

Paul also clarifies how we should view the law in relationship to "faith":

Rom 3: 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? ****God forbid****: yea, we establish the law.

The epistle of John contradicts what you are saying:

1 John 5:3

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

And "it is written"

"You shall therefore keep His statutes and His commandments, which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which the LORD your God is giving you for all time" (Deuteronomy 4:40)

Therefore, God's law is good and for our benefit:

Please provide and explain the text you are interpreting to mean that God's laws are against us.

Please also answer my original question, "what are the "laws" written in the hearts of the New Covenant believers?"
