Jesus Causes Us To Have Abundant Hearts Of Righteousness

“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.” Luke 6:45

Go back and review all of the verses that we have studied together so far. God’s Word clearly tells us that through Christ we are glorious, that we are perfected in Him, glorious through Him, and victorious with Him! Out of the abundance of our hearts our mouths will speak. And to insure that our hearts are filled with Jesus’ righteousness, God has sent the Spirit of His Son Jesus into our hearts, so that what is in abundance in our hearts will be the Truth that sets us free! No one knows better about being an heir than Jesus, and He has filled our hearts with the Word of God, and that is what our mouths speak! Our Father and our Savior are actively involved with insuring that what is in us is what is supposed to be within us!

It’s like a grape vine, the branch produces what the Vine gives it the power to produce. The branch doesn’t have to do anything except bare the fruit of the Vine. Without the Vine the branch is useless and withers and dies. But when a branch is one with the vine, it is alive and healthy producing much fruit! We are now one with the perfect Vine of Jesus Christ, and we now have the perfect Gardener of God protecting us and causing us to grow and ever produce more and more fruit! There is nothing lacking, God is able and willing to cause us to walk in His full righteousness and full glory, just as He has empowered and enabled Jesus to walk in them. God has made us one with Jesus and all that He is and all that He possesses we have been made to be partakers with! And out of the abundance of our new hearts we speak the Truth of God that sets us and the world free!
