AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 8:44 "You are of your father the devil, and it is your will to practice the desires [which are characteristic] of your father.

Bible Question: an obedient heart:how can i explain his to a brother |
Bible Answer: Greetings chumbu! I'm not quite sure how this reference prompts your question, but remember who is speaking here!(The father of lies!) One thing we know from God's Word is that the man of sin can not understand the things of the Spirit - they are foolishness to him. See I Cor 1: 18-25. In fact Scripture also tells us that the god of this age (Satan) has blinded the spiritual eyes of unbelievers (2 Cor 4:4). Lastly, God's Word can only be understood as God reveals it by His Spirit. The unregenerate man does not understand the things of God because he does not have the Spirit. (2 Cor 2:9-16). God alone searches the hearts of men - do you know what He's looking for? He is looking for the presence of His Son! That's what an obedient heart looks like to God! Just some thoughts . . . Blessings, mommapbs |
