Title: The Heart of God...
Contents
Text Matthew 15:1-20
The words of this text are about the heart. The heart that God gives is a good and good heart. If you have a good heart, you can live a happy life. Why do people kill, rape and steal? Because your heart is dark and possessed by the devil and Satan, you act as your heart thinks. Comparing the minds of successful people and unsuccessful people... Successful people have a positive and hopeful mind. However, since the minds of those who fail are negative and pessimistic, they fail no matter what they do.
There is one mind... but there are many kinds of minds.
First, the mind to eat out. (Verse 7 of the text)
The heart of hypocrisy is verse 8. They say they believe in God with their lips, but in reality they love wealth, fame, and power more than God. It is a heart that is wrong on the outside and inside. A heart that works hard when people see it and doesn't like it when people don't see it... Pretending to be kind in front of it... Behind the scenes, like this, that and that... All kinds of slander and strife... The Pharisees respected Jesus Teacher... in front of people. But, how can we kill Jesus later... This is hypocrisy.
A hypocrite heart is like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Jesus said to the hypocrites-minded scribes and Pharisees 6 times in Matthew 23, “Woe to you!” Matthew 23:33 Serpents, you brood of vipers, how can you escape the judgment of hell... Matthew 23:38 Behold, your house will be left in ruins.
This is verse 9. The hypocrite heart considers the words of men more important than the words of God.
The standard of life is people. Even if people say it's okay, it's okay... When the Bible says no... Who do you listen to? God's children must listen to God's Word. But people who eat out always listen to people. God makes no mistakes. It may or may not work well if you listen to what people say, but it is a blessing if you obey God's word.
Deuteronomy 28:1-6
If you listen carefully to the word of the LORD your God and keep all his commands that I am giving you today, the LORD your God will set you above all the nations of the world.
All these blessings will come upon you and come upon you, if you obey the word of the LORD your God.
You will be blessed in the city, and you will be blessed in the field.
Blessed will be the children of your body, and the produce of your land, and the young of your animals, and the offspring of your oxen and sheep.
Your basket and your bowl of dough will be blessed.
You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
Second, I have a dirty heart. Verse 18-20 of the text
Evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, and blasphemy in an unclean heart.
Dirty rats, dirty cockroaches, dirty flies, cockroaches... Only dirty things gather. If our hearts contain dirty things, dirty words, dirty actions, and unclean spirits move around like our own house. Just because you don't swear doesn't mean you have a dirty mind. People who became addicted to gambling just because they cut one hand didn't gamble for the rest of their lives... If you don't have a left hand with your left hand, you play with your foot. In order for words to change, actions to change, and the mind to be renewed, the dirty mind must be cleansed.
A prostitute, a murderer, and a thief met Jesus and their dirty hearts were washed clean.
John 4:13 Jesus answered and said to them, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.
John 4:14 Whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never thirst. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water springing up to eternal life.
Jesus is the water of life. When Jesus, the water of life, flows into your heart, your dirty heart begins to be washed away. Just as water turns into wine, Jesus changes your heart. Expect Jesus. Love Jesus, the water of life. Call on the name of Jesus.
Third, there is a heart that is possessed by Satan.
John 13:2 The devil had already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to sell Jesus...
Why did Judas Iscariot, who had been following him for three years, suddenly betray Jesus?
Because of disappointment with Jesus. Jesus, whom he thought, wanted the revolutionary Lord who would liberate them from Rome... from which day... The Son of Man did not come to be served... but to serve, and to die as a sacrifice for many. ...When I heard that he was going to die... Judas Iscariot burned with patriotism and was very disappointed. I was not alone in disappointment with Jesus. As disappointment in Jesus grew, the devil entered Judas Iscariot's heart.
John the Baptist risked his life to uphold Jesus... Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world... He risked his life and proclaimed. But Jesus ate, drank, played, laughed, and danced in the same room with sinners and prostitutes.... Is Jesus really the savior sent by God... or not... Bad rumors circulated. If John the Baptist was captured with great disappointment like Judas Iscariot at this time, John the Baptist, like Judas Iscariot, would have been captured by the devil and Satan and had an unfortunate end. But John the Baptist did not shake as if to shake.
Was Jesus really the one who was crucified for our sins and rose from the dead... Do I have to follow and believe in Jesus for the rest of my life... Like John the Baptist Shaking like John the Baptist, don't be shaken But don't be shaken... Jesus is God He is the way of salvation, the truth, and the life that He sent.
What is the communist theory? Let's make a country where people prosper except for God... Let's distribute it evenly... Let's make a country where people prosper... If the theory of communism is followed, the world will be a very prosperous country. Marx was the creator of the communist theory. Marx was a churchgoer. But like Judas Iscariot, his disappointment in Jesus grew and he turned to an atheist. Based on the communist theory created by Marx in the 1900s, workers led a bloody revolution. Hundreds of millions of people died in the communist bloody revolution. Disappointment in Jesus is the cursed channel through which the devil and Satan legally destroy society and destroy humans. Please keep it with the Word and prayer so that the devil and Satan do not work through your heart.
Luke 7:23 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble because of me.
Daniel's three friends went into a furnace that was seven times hotter than usual because of their faith in God without bowing down to idols. But Daniel's three friends did not stumble because of their faith in God. I believed in God for nothing... I believed in God for nothing... If I hadn't believed in God, I wouldn't have died... I didn't.
We do not blame God even if God does not rescue us from the dire situation of having to go into the fire and die. They betray God to live poorly and do not bow down to idols. Hallelujah! I went out boldly with faith without giving Satan any chance to enter... God protected me so that not a single hair of my head was damaged.
Guard your heart above all else
This time, it is the heart that God gives.
God-given heart
First, a kind and good heart.
Luke 8:15 Those in the good soil are those who hear the word with an honest and good heart, keep it, and bear fruit with patience.
What kind of heart is a good and good heart... First, it is a heart that listens to God's Word. Second, it is the heart that keeps the word of God. The third is patience. It is a long-suffering mind.
Second, it is meek and humble of heart.
Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
I looked it up in the Korean dictionary, and it came out that the meaning of gentleness was mild and soft...
The most meek of all beasts is the sheep. Sheep do not rebel when they are taken to the slaughterhouse. If God had told us to offer sacrifices with sheep, horses, or pigs... it would have been very difficult. It is harder to kill a dog than to kill a hundred sheep. It takes an entire village to catch one pig. But the sheep is still. It doesn't make a sound even when stabbed to death. May you and I die like sheep at work. Just as salt needs to be dissolved in food to make it taste better... When blood dies, useless pride dies, and an evil heart dies... people in the world will return to the Lord because of our good words and actions is.
Second, Jesus was humble. Humility is when someone in a high position is humbled. Jesus is the one who gave up the seat of God and came as a human who lived less than a hundred years. Just as human beings become ants because we love ants, God humbled himself infinitely for us. This is humility. If you oppress, ignore, criticize, and divide the community because you have learned something, are good at it, or have some power, you are a proud person. God does not give salvation to the proud. I pray that you and I will be humble and humble.
How can I have a kind and good heart, a meek and humble heart...
You can receive it only when you repent and receive the Holy Spirit.
