"The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith." 1 Timothy 1:5 (NIV)
The more I study the Bible the clearer it becomes that God looks at the heart first. Love is the driving force that He is looking for. Love for God creates a pure heart that earnestly seeks God's will. It also creates a sincere faith.
When you examine your thoughts what drives your motives?
"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason, I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life. 1 Timothy 1:15 and 16 (NIV)
Jesus Christ became the Ultimate Redeemer for any sinner who sincerely believes in Him and accepts his forgiveness and grace.
