1 | The "goodness" of man? | Jer 17:9 | lionheart | 144945 | ||
Greetings my sister,mans problem isn't a problem with self esteem or self identity and I'm sure this is no recent revelation to you.Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick;Who can understand it? This is us apart from God.This is the old man.The world wants an easy Gospel,Cheap Grace.We as comitted disciples of Jesus know different.We know that our salvation cost God his dearest blood and without Jesus Christ we are lost.The non Christian by nature would prefer not to believe this.They would prefer that we preach a watered down soft shoed gospel.I'm OK your OK philosophy will never work. We must be loving but also uncompromising when it comes to preaching the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.Keep telling it like it is my sister. Love ya, lionheart |

2 | The "goodness" of man? | Jer 17:9 | Mommapbs | 144948 | ||
Greetings Lionheart - yes, the heart of unregenerate man is wicked, but HOW should we see him? (As just wicked, or as worthy of the cross of Christ?) What makes us worthy of this awesome grace? (Man, being made in the image of God relates here, imo) What is the implication for us in our relationships with others . . . how we might encourage a non-believer to see himself? (God's love comes to mind) I completely agree with the Apostle Paul, in my flesh dwells no good thing - ah, but in my heart - there lies the Treasure, and if the Treasure has taken up residence there, my heart must also be holy - God tells us that it is, because He has given us a new heart. (Eze 36:26) This fact of a new Power Source should resonate throughout the church, empowering her to become the very arms and legs of Chrsit to a lost world - and yet sadly, we live from the habits of the old man all too often! Blessings, mommapbs |

Amen dear sister. Well put. This is the the message we need to convey to those God brings into our life. 1 Cor 10:13- No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man;and God is faithful,who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able,but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also,that you may be able to endure it. Dear heart there is an old saying that I'm quite sure you are familiar with- old habits die hard;How true,But as we remain faithfull and count on God to take care of us He will provide a way out a way to win in any situation we may encounter in this life. In Christ, lionheart |
