From Your Pastor’s Heart…

 1-11-09

Have you trusted in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross for you, personally?

God brings about changes in us when He saves us. He gives us a new heart. He puts a new spirit within us. That Spirit of God that begins to dwell in us at the moment of salvation is God Himself, who loves righteousness and hates sin. He gives us a growing desire to know about Him and to obey Him. He gives us a love for Him and not an aversion to Him. David said in Psalm 40:8, “I delight to do your will, O my God. Your law is written in my heart.”  You see, when you truly know Christ, your heart’s delight will agree with God’s perfect will and Word.

I would encourage you to read Ezekiel 36:26-27. It is a beautiful description of what happens to a person when they become a believer. Oh… read 2 Corinthians 5:17. Memorize it. It is a truth for your personal life if you have trusted in Jesus Christ.

It is a joy to be your pastor.
