How is the state of you HEART?

Faith will save you. Church says that our faith will save us.

We hear people saying that if you love the Lord and you are faithful to Him you must do things excellently in order for Him to be glorified, things such as events, activities, work, studies and many more because God deserve all the best. =)

But God reminded us that being good in many things will not be the basis of our salvation. Even if we are good in many things (e.g. events, activities and etc.) it will be our heart that will be the basis of our faithfulness. (How and what is the state of your heart?).

It is not on how you excellently done all those things but it’s about the state of your heart while doing all those things. After all the Lord will not ask you how well you are while you are still alive and playing your role as his/her servant but the Lord will ask you how was the state of your heart doing all those things for me.. Is it happy, joyful, grateful, thankful and full of love and Gladness? Or it might be angry, troubled, confused, doubted or even just doing it for the sake of doing it.

God said, “Give your all to me”, but He means all your heart because a real heart is willing to sacrifice, a real heart can give his/her all to the Lord.("You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. Deuteronomy 6:5)

It is our will to please the Lord but not only on what can we give but rather how was the state of our heart while giving our all to Him? By our Faith we will have salvation, but it will all start in the condition of our heart everyday.
