Daily Verse
October 8
Jesus came for this purpose to give us a new heart.
Mark 7:21 ‘For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,’
Jesus came for this purpose to give us a new heart
that loves what He loves;
desires what He desires;
delights in His will;
walks in His ways;
and obeys His commands.
Religion tries to change the heart;
to cleanse the old life; to better itself.
Jesus does away with all of that.
He does not make us better; He makes all things new.
He puts a new heart within us.
He makes us a new creation; born of His Spirit; created in His image.
We are free to be the children of the living God;
righteous because He is righteous;
holy because He is holy;
pure because He is pure.
