“O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!”
Deuteronomy 5:29 KJV
Ever since the fall of man, mankind’s heart became dull and rebellious to respond to God. That’s why sin and destruction are running rampant in humanity. The glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ provides the complete remedy by giving a heart transplant in Christ! This is God’s heart cry for humanity in the old covenant as He desired a new heart that would fear Him and always keep His commandments. God commanded that His people would circumcise the foreskin of their heart and be stiff-necked no longer! Thank God that Jesus came as the Son of Man and through the Gospel of Christ fulfilled the age-old longing of God’s heart. In Christ, now, we have the Spirit of the fear of the Lord that delights in the fear of the Lord and causes in us to walk in the reverential love-produced fear of God. Now our new heart transplant has taken place and we have obedience to His Word. We are now the blessed of the Lord, and blessing all those around us. Now we are free to love the Lord our God, with all our heart, mind and strength. We won’t depart from the Lord because we are in Christ. Amen!
