A Heart Changed by Grace.

A grace- shaped life is marked by a changed heart. Think of God as a heart surgeon.*

“Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh.” (Ezekiel 11:19 nkjv)

 Some say they can’t change – they're not Jesus. Well use the example of Paul.

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” (Galatians 2:20 nkjv)

Christ creates the change—unique to Christianity is that Christ accepts us before we change, then he moves within us. You can’t forgive? Christ can. Can’t face tomorrow? Christ can.*

Have you received God's grace? What evidence do you see in your life of a changed heart?

Be wise today and always – grace can change anyone’s heart.
