Society says change the outside and the inside will follow. Give a person education, the right habits, the right disciplines, and the person will be changed.
Oh, we try. Boy, do we try. We buy clothes. We seek degrees, awards, achievements. But peel away the layers, and underneath you see our true nature: a selfish, prideful, sinful heart.
Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, unless one is born again, he cannot be in God’s kingdom. John 3:3″
At our “new birth” God remakes our souls and gives us what we need. New eyes so we can see by faith. A new mind so we can have the mind of Christ. A new vision so we won’t lose heart. A new voice for praise and new hands for service. And most of all, a new heart!
