How is the law written on our hearts?
Question
How is the law written upon our hearts (particularly referring to Romans 2:14-15 and Hebrews 8:10)? It seems like I don’t have to be saved. I can just do the right thing and therefore be righteous before God.
Answer
Romans 2:14-15: For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them.

Hebrews 8:10: For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
