If you're not applying the Word of God in your life, you are deceived about your spiritual

condition.

This certainly applies to a non-believer, a non-Christian who hears the gospel, hears the

gospel and never puts it into practice.

It can also be true of a Christian who hears teaching about a certain area and he will not deal

with that, he will not apply that in an area of his life, he becomes totally deceived

about his true spiritual condition.

Welcome to Grace to You, the Bible teaching ministry of John MacArthur.

I'm your host, Phil Johnson.

If you're a Christian, think about the many ways Christ shows his love for you every day.

He strengthens you during trials. He meets your physical needs, and most important, he paid for your sins.

And at this moment, he is preparing a home for you in heaven. How should you show your love for him? What does he require?

John MacArthur points you to the answer today on grace to you, so stay here for a study that can help

you understand perhaps more deeply than ever the importance of obeying God, not legalistically,

but out of a wholehearted devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ.

And now here's John to continue his series, the pillars of Christian character.

Now, what are the essential heart attitudes? What are the essential heart motives and convictions?

They gave you the first one, faith, faith. And Abak, 2-4, repeated in Romans 11, Galatians 311, Hebrews 1038, the Lord's repeated it

all through Scripture.

It says this, the just shall live by faith.

At the heart of everything is believing God.

He that comes to him must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder
