Journey With Jesus 365Намуна

Jesus tells us that obeying God from the heart is more important than following man-made traditions. Jesus quickly discerned the root of the problem with the religious establishment of His day. They were outwardly religious but inwardly lifeless. The Pharisees appeared righteous on the outside. They were careful to follow the rules, but it did not come from a heart of love. Often their good deeds were done out of obligation or a desire to impress others.

We should be careful about doing things to impress others. Do not talk often about the good things that you have done, either the money you gave, the time you served, or how you helped others. Instead, show concern for others. Make sure the reasons you do good things are out of a pure heart to serve God. Ask God to give you a humble heart and passion to serve!
