Grace The Power To Change

Part 8

Grace in the Heart

How does God relate to us?

All that God does in us; He does in and through our hearts. God looks on and relates to us through our hearts and all that our lives are flows from the condition of our hearts.

Why does the Bible consider unbelief evil?

The reason unbelief is so evil is quite simple. Faith is a response to God’s character. It’s the natural response for someone who believes God is honest. Unbelief is also a response to God’s character – it does not believe in the honesty of God.

What is true humility?

Humility is not a “cast down” attitude. Neither is it a weakness. Humility is the place where you submit your will, your view, and your plans to the will, view, and plan of God.

Let’s talk about the heart of the sin nature being fear.

You cannot trust someone you are afraid of. When you are afraid of God, you do not trust Him. Because people who do not trust God -  His plans for them, His way, His opinion – they turn to sin for gratification and try to do things in their own way.

How does grace work?

Grace works in the heart and produces change from the inside out. Because grace works in our heart we can be and do all that God requires and still abide in rest. Rest is freedom from dead works.
