128 – Guard Your Heart - Pastor Steve Eden (pt 1)

We have been taught that we must guard our heart based on Proverbs 4:23: Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. You cannot receive or have life apart from Christ. We are taught we must change our behavior but throughout all of scripture Gods says “will you believe Me?”. We derive our reality from what God says and that’s what guards your heart, not your self-effort. There is no redemptive power by keeping the law, only by believing that God has reconciled us to Himself.

In episode one Steve and Rick talk about the sin Jesus came to take away was our self-dependence.
