Genesis 6:5(NKJV) 5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Understanding what God says about the condition of our hearts, without Christ, will help us all to see why Christ came to save us and why we need Him working daily in our lives.
If we look closely at what is happening all around this world, the good and the bad, we will see that it stems from one common denominator, that is the heart condition of man, whether or not He has Christ.
Genesis 6:6 (NKJV) 6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. It is the condition the heart is in that causes the person to do what they do, whether they do a good deed or a bad deed. That is why Christ says, we will know them by their fruit. Matthew 7:20 (NKJV) 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
If we see someone, whether a leader, a friend or family member, etc., doing things wrong, if we want to see them change, we need to pray for God to change their heart. That is where everything stems from.
God says in Jeremiah 17:9 (NKJV)9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?
Knowing this simple truth about the condition of the heart will help us to stay focused today, understanding the real problem behind people’s actions.
Let’s join together and pray for God to change the heart of man, that they will repent and receive Christ as their Lord today. Amen.
