Subject: What is a repentance from dead works? |
Bible Note: Emmaus, might these dead works be anything that we "do" apart from Christ at work in us? What I'm thinking about here is learning to recognize when we are doing "good things" with the wrong motivation. If I do this for God then He will do that . . .which is a reflection of a self-centered heart. A Christ-centered heart has HIM in operation, a life yielded to His will, His desires, His motives . . . mommapbs |
