It’s All About the Heart
Some people have the wrong idea about religion. They think that it’s about external things like your behaviour – stuff like do’s and don’ts. And it’s true that too often Christians themselves haven’t focused on the right things.
But the teachings of Jesus overwhelmingly focus on the heart. He said that it’s the pure in heart who will see God. He said that what stuffs up our lives, isn’t what comes from outside of us, but what comes out from our very own hearts. If you think about that, honestly, you know that it’s true.
Jesus directly and constantly rebuked those whose religious teachings were focused on the externals.
Accountability is important here, because when you accept the problems in your own heart, you stop blaming others so much.
So what’s your focus? Is it on ensuring that your heart is right with God?
Remember: If your heart is right with God, the rest will follow.
The teachings of Jesus overwhelmingly focus on the heart.
