TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH 9 APRIL 2024 DEVOTIONAL
Read David Jeremiah 9th April 2024 Devotional, Tuesday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Protect Your Heart
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Proverbs 4:23, NIV
Recommended Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:21
In Paul’s description of the Christian’s spiritual armor, he wrote that righteousness is the believer’s breastplate—that which protects the heart (Ephesians 6:14). The leather breastplate of the Roman soldier in Paul’s day has been replaced by today’s bulletproof vests—but the purpose is the same. Righteousness implies holiness or sinlessness. But how are we, as sinners, able to protect our heart from Satan’s accusations of sinfulness? By relying not on our righteousness but on the righteousness of Christ who never sinned: “For [God] made [Christ] who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Protect your heart by depending on Christ’s righteousness rather than your own.
My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
