Grace for your spirit 2-10-17

Grace for your spirit
Moreover the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.   Deuteronomy 30:6

We read the words of Jesus in the New Testament, Matthew 22, about the greatest command, "Loving the Lord your God with all your heart and soul."  We see the words of Paul in Colossians 2 , about our circumcision of heart, and might think it is only a New Testament thought. But look over 1400 years before Jesus came.  It was always God's vision for His people.  Loving God and separation from sin is are things that never grow out of style.  With Jesus in our hearts, we can accomplish both.
