Luke 6:45 “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.”
Again we see Jesus talking about good people and bad people. But we can see in other Scripture that before God we are all bad people. So how can we have good treasure in our heart? Is it just possible that some are born good and some are born bad? No, not quite.
The key here is to understand that it is all a work of God. Only by the crosswork of Christ is it possible for us to be redeemed. Only by His righteousness may we have righteousness. We can have good treasure inside of us, but only because of our relationship with Him. It is dependent upon Him, and not us. We must respond in faith. There is a choice of the will on our part. But, even our choice is a gift. Without His grace, we would not be free to choose. And when we do, we are manifested forth as those good people that He describes here. And as good people, we are able to work out of our good treasure.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your grace! Thank You for the work You do in our hearts. Because of Christ, we may work good works. We may be generators of good things. We may throw the evil out of our lives. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
