Hearts that Please God

Listen to the trembling heart speaking to us in 1 Corinthians 9:27, “… lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be castaway.”

II. THE TENDER HEART

The tenderhearted Christian is sensitive to the needs of others, is affectionate and considerate. Is not afraid nor ashamed of tears, and quite readily admits his heart is touched by the Spirit more easily each day.

III. THE PERFECT HEART

2 Kings 20:3 “… remember now how I walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart and have done that which is good in thy sight?”

IV. THE BROKEN HEART

We find David making the statement that has been a guide for centuries, “… a broken and contrite heart. O God, thou wilt not despise.”

V. THE PURE HEART

In the Sermon on the Mount, our Saviour said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”

VI. THE OPENED HEART

It is said in Acts 16:14, “… whose heart the Lord-opened.” The heart that is open has light, seeks only that which glorifies Jesus Christ.

VII. THE STEDFAST HEART

“O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.” Paul tells us to be “stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.” The quality that made the pioneer spirit in our country was that of being stedfast. This is the essence of the early church, for it could be said of them, that they “earnestly contended for the faith,” even unto death when needs be.
