We are working on a Bible study to help you understand this mystery. Meanwhile, take some time to think about these verses: THE PROBLEM Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? THE PROMISE Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. THE PROCESS Psalms 1:1-3 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. warning You don't have permission to post comments.
