What I learned:
God created us for us to serve him and do his good works. But, we have turned away from God to take a path that is leading us far away from God. In acts chapter 17 verse 27, the Bible tells us to seek God. If we seek him, he will not be far from us. Naturally, we are born with the desires for the things of the world. We want to accomplish so many things in life. We have so many ambitions. We want to have so much money. We want to have so much wealth, we want to acquire material possessions. We want to do a lot of things. However, whenever we see ourselves desiring the things of God, we should know that it is God that is actually working in us, but to will and to do of his good pleasure. So we should turn back and seek out. We should return to God and do his good works.
Whichever race we come from, wherever we are from, whatever is our faith, God has a commandment for us to seek him. If we desire to come back to God, it is a good sign, because in this world two things exist, good and evil. We should let the good to have dominion in us.
We learnt of the parable of a seed Sower who went to sow and some of the seeds fell by the wayside, some fell on Stony grounds, some fell among thorns, some fell on good grounds, according to Matthew Chapter 13 from Verse 3 to 8. And those ones that fell on good grounds were the ones that bore fruit.
According to Luke 8 verse 11. The Bible tells us that the seeds there was the word of God, and there are four kinds of hearts. Heart that received the Word of God, and the temptations of life steals the word of God from them, some received the word of God, and Satan would steal the word from them. Some some received the word of God, and then the desires of life, the ambitions of life, would take the word of God from them, and the word of God would not have effect. And some which are the good ones will receive the word of God with patience, and allow the word of God to grow in them, and then bear much fruit. We should examine ourselves and ensure that we are like the four kind of hearts that receive the word of God and with patience allow the word of God to have effect and bear fruit in them. However, whichever kind of hearts that we have, if God could change soul, who was the chief Sinner, God can change us. So we should seek God. We should return to God, and he will change us and give us a new heart that will do his will, a heart of flesh that will keep his commandment. So we should return to God and do his will.
FORMER BELIEF:
I didn't hold any opposing believe regarding this teaching.
IMPACTS OF THE TEACHING:
Whichever kind of heart I have, if I seek God, he is able to change it to give me a new heart that can bear fruits
