"But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies." - Matthew 15:18-19 "...There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God." - Romans 3:10-11 The natural man's inclination is toward the things of this world, the evil desires and lust. This is the fallen nature of man since sin entered the world. All our effort to gain righteousness through our good works is like filthy rags in the view of God's holy standard. Man has fallen but only God can lift him up and give him a new heart. A heart that discerns and forsakes sin. David's prayer was "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me" (Psalm 51:10). This is ever believer's prayer and God answered this prayer by sending His Son Jesus Christ and dying for our sin. He offered us a new heart and His Holy Spirit to lead and guide us when we believe in His Son. Though we live in a body of sin, but we are ruled by God's Spirit. This is the amazing work of God! Praise the Lord!
