Who Owns Your Heart?

Sep30

“And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?”
And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
Then he *said to Him, “Which ones?”
And Jesus said, “You shall not commit murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; Honor your father and mother; and You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
The young man *said to Him, “All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?””

Live & Walk By The Spirit

Sep24

“Only be very careful to observe the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to love the Lord your God and walk in all His ways and keep His commandments and hold fast to Him and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” ”

Do we comprehend the love that He has for you and me?
Do we live as if Jesus’ life was worth saving ours?

🌹In any 24 hour period, how many hours are our eyes looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith?
