What can I do to become Pure in Heart?
ANSWER: You do Nothing and let Jesus do Everything
“”I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”- John 15:5
- There is a vast different between “Taking Part” in the things of God and being “Set apart” for the things of God
- Do you only do the things of God when people are watching? (Appearance)
- Do your circumstances dictate if, how, or when you serve and worship God? (Circumstance)
- Does the people you are serving or are serving with dictate your commitment to the things of God?
Decision: Allow Jesus to Wreck your Life
- Jesus will:
- Destroy your white-washed tomb- John 2:19
- Turn over every stone in your life- Matthew 24:1-2
- Rebuild you into a Temple Set-apart- John 2:19
