The intentions of the heart!
January 29, 2009 The Lord Jesus takes into account the intentions of our heart, both as justification for condemnation.
We can see several text in the Bible that shows how much the Lord Jesus takes into account our desires, which is deepest in our hearts.
The Lord Jesus said in His word: "Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honor me with their lips but their heart is far from me, Mark 06.07 , "there are people who say: I believe God, I believe in Jesus, but their hearts are living as if God did not exist , some men seem righteous and pious, but their heart is far from God.
"Do not covet thy neighbor's wife and not covet thy neighbor's house, nor his field, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is thy neighbor. Deuteronomy 5:21 , "said the word:" Thou shalt not covet ", ie: not covet your heart has the wife of thy neighbor, nor ox, servant, maid, ass, or anything else, more precisely:" thou shalt not envy ".
The Lord Jesus said, "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman lustfully has already committed adultery in his heart to her. Matthew 5:28 , "but many do not crave, that evidence against them even if the their hearts are far from God, a clean heart before God, desires to please God in the depths of the heart.
"To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him, and his heart became Egypt, Acts 7:39 , "there is no record of the Jews to return to Egypt, but in their hearts they returned under the bondage, being under the desired sin, outside the grace of God liberated them from slavery, the judge of sin. So they did what they please not God, serving false gods, but the grace of the Lord is upon those who wish to do good because they like the Lord, and send your Holy Spirit to be at hand to assist, and not let such a person to sin against the Lord and good intentions are imputed for righteousness to God "Whoever receives a prophet in quality of a prophet, shall receive a reward of a prophet who receives a fair and quality fair, the fair will receive a reward. And any you have only given it a glass of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple, verily I say that in no wise lose his reward. Matthew 10.41-42 , "you might not be a prophet, but sometimes that God will sustain such a prophet, prays to God to continue giving grace, contributes financially to continue his work.
Should set our hearts are in the Lord Jesus: "I want to remember what you can give me a little hope in life Lamentations 3:21 "
"For truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Arise and cast into the sea and not doubt in his heart but believes that it will do what it says, whatever you say will be done. Mark 11:23 "
The condition here is: to believe in your heart, not just lip service to say, is believing in your heart, if we really believe it will happen.
"But if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays his coming and start to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink and get drunk Luke 12:45 "
See before making a servant, first in his heart he wished, he said the first in the heart, the heart is home is where does the good and bad desires: "But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and they defile the man . Because of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. Matthew 15:18-19 "
"Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said: These always err in their heart, and not known my ways. Hebrews 3:10 "
For the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me, and with his mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but your heart turns away away from me and their fear toward me is a commandment of men, it was instructed: Isaiah 29.13 "
And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do work because they flatter with their lips but their heart goeth after their covetousness. Ezekiel 33.31 "
What is your wish? Why did you go to church? Why are you ready to go to worship?
Know, start thinking things over, think of the wonders that the Lord does, what Jesus said, and so will clear the evil desires of your heart and live for Christ: "As the Father, living, sent me and I live by the Father, so whoever feeds on me, will live because of me. John 6:57 "
How to feed on Christ? Read His word, seek him in prayer, "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me If that comes to me I will no wise cast out. John 6:37 , "Christ go with the certainty that he will never abandon you "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you and surely I am with you alway, even unto the end of the ages, amen. Matthew 28:20 , "the Lord said:" I am with you, "he wont abandon, never throw out what comes to him.
Keep the words of the Lord, He said that he who loves him keeps his words, "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, keep my words: and my Father loved him, and come unto him, and we home with him. John 14:23 "
Live for Christ!
As you purify your heart? As a man purifies his heart? as the young purifies your heart?
"As a young man cleanse his way? Heed thereto according to thy word. Psalm 119.9 "
"Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and seek him with all my heart Psalm 119.2 "
Believe in your heart, for all that man needs to do is to please God: "Jesus answered and said unto them, God's work is this: to believe that he sent. John 6:29 "
"That ye make not negligent, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Hebrews 6:12 "
"And the Scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him as righteousness, and was called the friend of God. James 2:23 "
And sure, the promise to obey the Lord Jesus shall be firm for ever, He said: "Heaven and earth will pass away but my words shall not pass away. Matthew 24:35 "
