Heart Condition

Proverbs 27:19

We don't know what lurks deep in the heart of a man. All we know is that whatever is in there is not good (Jeremiah 17:9-10).

When someone talks, when they are with their closest friends or family and feel free to speak honestly, what is in their heart will sooner or later come out of their mouth (Luke 6:45). And since we are a fallen people with a sin nature, we can't help ourselves. We will gossip and viciously put someone's character in a blender.

We love to think of ourselves as good people. We are wrong (Mark 10:17-18 and Romans 3:1-12). We try to be good on our own and will fail miserably.

But, for His Name's sake, our Great God made a way. He gave us His Son and we have been given to His Son (John 6:37-40). He gave us a new heart and renewed our minds and gave us His Spirit (Ezekiel 36:22-27). It is only in Christ Jesus that we find goodness.

God is AWESOME!
