Subject: Are our hearts HOLY or Wicked? |
Bible Note: Hi, Ray! Excellent reply! I think that part of the poblems we have is grabbing one (some) Scriptural passage and running with it--in this limited scope Scripture seems to contradict Scripture... Yet, when we allow the Holy Spirit to reveal the fullness of Truth, we begin to better understand our Lord's Word: You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. (John 15:3-6) Man's heart cannot be anything but wicked and corrupt (Psalms 14:1,3; 53:3; Romans 3:23; 5:12)... yet, in our Lord Jesus Christ, we are made whole onto God! (Romans 3:24-26; 6:11-14, 23; 8:1-17) God Bless! Angel |
