“And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause [your way of life to be governed by] my laws and be [vigilant in obeying] my rules. You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.” - Ezekiel 36:26-28
After listening to POTUS' speech at the memorial for the slain Dallas cops I thought it was a great speech. Don’t know how people are criticizing what he said. Interesting that he quoted Ezekiel 36. The answer to all of this is right there. “I will be your God…” When, and only when the individual acknowledges the God of the Bible, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Creator and Sustainer of All, by their way of life being (2) governed by His Biblical laws and (3) solidified by the individual’s Biblical obedience – only then can the heart be changed. And this change can only come through (1) the acceptance, submission, and Lordship of Jesus Christ. Heart-change. That is what is needed during these times filled with fear and turmoil. Keep marching, keep standing for what’s right, those things are beneficial and are great. But heart-change is the only solution. And heart-change is only accomplished when you acknowledge, through living obedience, the God of the Bible, through Jesus Christ.
Thank you POTUS for reminding us of that through your quoting of the Scriptures.
