I am stepping back further and showing the overall issue of the two trees seen between Grace and Law. It is LAW -- any Law -- that is self urging self to avoid the evil and do the good. It is the difference between one finding oneself doing the will of God without having resorted to a codebook to do it, because one's nature has been changed. THAT is actually what it means to have the law written in our hearts. It is the nature being changed.
