Luke 18:9-14
God’s goal for us isn’t behavior modification, it’s heart transformation
Verses about the heart:
Proverbs 4:23
Jeremiah 17:9
1 Samuel 16:7
Matthew 12:34
Matthew 5:8
Ezekiel 36:26
Jeremiah 31:33
Self-righteousness leads to spiritual blindness.
Comparison breeds pride or shame, but never surrender.
Reverence and fear of God leads to mercy.
Ezra 9:6
“To fear God is to hallow Him. Hallow is defined as “to respect greatly.” To fear God is to esteem, respect, honor, venerate, and adore Him above anyone or anything else. When we fear God, we take on His heart. We love what He loves, and we hate what He hates. What is important to Him becomes important to us. What is not so important to Him becomes not so important to us.” –John Bevere
God isn’t impressed by our resume, He’s drawn to our repentance.
