Jesus Wants Us to Get Rid of All the Idols in Our Hearts ㅡ

 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus said the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.”

 (Ezekiel 14:6)

We must be emptied of self in order to give room to Jesus, but how many have their hearts so filled with idols that they have no room for the Redeemer of the world.

The world holds the hearts of men in captivity.

They center their thoughts and affections upon their business, their position, their family.

They hold to their opinions and ways, and cherish them as idols in the soul....

We must be emptied of self.

But this is not all that is required, for when we have renounced our idols, the vacuum must be supplied....

As you empty the heart of self you must accept the righteousness of Christ.

Lay hold of it by faith....

If you open the door of the heart, Jesus will supply the vacuum by the gift of His Spirit, and then you can be a living preacher in your home, in the church, and in the world.

 (That I May Know Him 165)
