You may be able to hide who you are from others, but you can never
hide who you are from God. It’s easy to
appear to be who we are not. We can do
the right things, say the right things, be in the right places, and hang out
with the right people, but if the heart is not right with God it doesn’t
matter. There are so many of us who know
how to come across in a positive light.
We want to be looked upon as children of God. We don’t want others to see our down side,
the side that is prone to wander away from God.
We may even convince ourselves that all is well with us and
God. But, the Lord knows the heart. He knows whether or not we are all show and
no go. He does not honor the living of
those who are not right with him. If
your heart is not right with God, what you do is deemed to be worthless and
useless to God.
If you have any question at all about your heart condition before
God, examine the Scriptures. Let God’s
Word show you how you are doing. God
makes it very clear what we need to be like, what we should be doing and not
doing, how we should think about things and others. A careful reading of the Word leaves no sin
unturned and it shows us the pathway of holy living.
It is imperative that we take seriously our heart condition before
God. Before you try to live a Christian
life, you must first let Christ make you one.
Only Christ can change the heart of man from one that is evil to one
that is righteous and holy. Only Jesus
can make what we do acceptable to God.
