MATTHEW 12: 35
"A good person produces good things from the treasury of A GOOD HEART, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart."
The Word of God tells us that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The One Truth Today points out that good people, out of the treasury of their good heart produce good things. Are "good things" coming out of your mouth, and your heart? If evil things are constantly coming out of your mouth and your heart, you should be on notice that you are in need of a change! Your words are seeds that you plant in your life and they grow and you will eat the crop. How will your seeds develop and what will your seeds produce? Anyone will be able to tell where you heart is by what you say. What will others hear when they listen to you, will it be an evil heart or A GOOD HEART?
The Bible tells us that at the day of judgement we will have to give account for everything we have said and thought. We will be justified and acquitted by our words and our heart, or we will be condemned and found guilty based on what we said, or did not say, and what was in our hearts!
If your words come out of the abundance of A GOOD HEART, it will mean that you have accepted the Lord into your life and that you have become a new person who rejects sin. Remember that the Lord stands at the door to our hearts and knocks to come in and dwell with each of us. We have to confess with our tongue and believe in our heart the Jesus Christ is the Lord God. Anyone who opens the door to their heart and allows the Lord to come in will have the Holy Spirit dwelling within them and that will lead to A GOOD HEART!
A good tree brings forth good fruit. A bad tree brings forth bad or evil fruit. A person is like a fruit tree, and you will be known by your fruit. The only way you can become a "good person", with a good heart is to be a child of God. The Lord will give you a new heart and a new life and instead of sin it will be filled with a yearning to be more like Jesus Christ. The words that you spoke as a sinful man, to invite the Lord into your life, will also be heard at the time of judgement and they will Save you from your sin. You will want to put away evil things in your life and in place of them you will desire good things and good fruit. That is how you will end up with your
GOOD HEART!
