For a new heart in Christ, leads to Christ like behaviour and attitudes. Today as you start a new day, lean on Jesus, admit you need HIM and ask God to give you a new heart. It is only through God’s grace and mercy that we can be changed, from the inside out. Jesus makes it so clear, that those who admit that they need Him, those who realise they need His help, will be the ones that inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, salvation. Instead, Jesus shows us at the beginning of His teachings, that all we need to do, is realise that we can’t live without His help. My one defense, my righteousness, oh God how I need. That is what we need the most, more of God- and we need to remember to. And to be honest that probably wasn’t Jesus’ intention – to make us feel inadequate to live up to His standards. And thats where these words touch my heart so muchLord, I need You, oh I need You. Embed jesuskvinne 6443 views 11 years ago about 10-12 days ago a dear friend and brother told me that God called him to use more time with Him, to come closer and also go further than before- to come into a deeper, personal relationship with God. I believe Jesus died and rose again to give me life. Father, So often, I find myself crying out, Lord, I believe. In and of our own strength and will, we will never be able to live up to the standards of Holiness presented to us in chapters 5 -7. So today, I’d love for you to join me as I pray God, I Need You Please Increase My Faith. When you fully experience God’s love, you have nothing to fear. And when you have a relationship with God and experience His love, it empowers you to love others the way God loves you. He shows us that our problem is in our hearts. God is the only one who can love you perfectly. Jesus shows His disciples through these chapters, that our sin is more than just actions, but attitudes. Matthew, chapters 5 -7 gives a detailed and extensive list of God’s holy standards, highlighting that outward action, and ‘knowledge’ in and of itself, is not enough to be saved. Yet nothing could be further from the truth, and is the very reason why Jesus taught His disciples and followers in His sermon on the Mount. Guaranteed to go to Heaven because of their extensive knowledge of scriptures Guaranteed to gain favour from God because of their numerous works and acts of ‘kindness’ Guaranteed to be blessed because they obeyed God’s laws without wavering. The Pharisees in the New Testament, thought the same about themselves. “ God blesses those who are poor and realise their need for Him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.”ĭo you ever get days when you think you have got it all sorted? Perhaps you are applying for a job that you just know you’ll get, or perhaps you are doing something that you are more than capable to complete and excel in.
