What’s on your heart? Matthew 5:21-30, 38-42

‘The Ten Commandments are like channels down which the water of the Spirit flows. Without the Spirit they’re just dry ruts. But our life in the Spirit will only be fulfilled when we live in obedience to God as already defined by him in those commandments.’ Stephen Gaukroger

‘The law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.’ Romans 7.12

‘What other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws as this body of laws I am setting before you today?’ Deut 4:8

'When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.’ Romans 7.21

‘The command ‘Be perfect’ is not idealistic gas. Nor is it a command to do the impossible. He is going to make us into creatures that can obey that command.’ Jesus promises that his Spirit will help us to live in God’s ways. CS Lewis, Mere Christianity

Hebrews 10.16, quoting Jeremiah says: ‘This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.’

'I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl.’ Job 31.1

‘Who can say I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin?’ Proverbs 20.9

‘If we say we are without sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.’ I John 1.8

Martyn Lloyd Jones: ‘The Christian faith is ultimately not only a matter of doctrine or understanding, or of intellect. It is a condition of the heart.’

How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according toyour word. I will seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalm

Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. Psalm 86.11
