Pvr.4: 23
Introduction:
1. God is concerned to improve our inner life, Prv.4: 23, the reason is because it is inside where it comes from our life in its entirety: "Above all, watch your thoughts because they control your life." PDT. Other versions of the Bible say heart, mind, thoughts. But all versions of the Bible in English put great emphasis on the importance of being diligent in taking care of our inner world: "Look after your mind more than anything in the world ..." DHH. If our mind or heart care deserve the greatest of all, this indicates our inner life is the most important thing we have in this world.
2. We must watch carefully our emotions because they may be contaminated and prevent us to eternal heaven. The writer of Hebrews wrote, "Look well, lest any man fail of the grace of God that no root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled ..." He.12: 15. Impure emotion can damage not only our own lives, but also has the power to harm those around us, whether in the family, at work, and above all in the church.
I-Jesus mentioned that Bud LIFE INSIDE THE HUMAN : "But what comes out of the mouth, heart, and this defiles a man. Because of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. " Mt.15: 18.19. Until you clean your indoor pollution and your life can not prosper, your family can not prosper and the church can not move forward.
A-What kind of emotions or feelings is that we talked about:
1 - Bitterness.
2 - Grudge.
3 - Jealousy
4 - Odio.
5 - Lust: sexual greed, adultery, fornication, lust, etc..
6 - Greed.
7 - Discordia.
8 - wrath, or easily angered.
9 - Intrigued, divisive, partisan cause.
10 - Envious.
B-The verdict on these feelings and emotions is eternal damnation, Gal.5: 21.
II-"from which the impurity?
A-Jesus said that the heart, Mt.15: 19.20. Paul mentioned the same concept, Ti.1: 15.
B-How do you get to know the inner life of a person? Jesus said that the tree is known by its fruit, implying that the springs inside people through acts and attitudes. Mt.7: 15.20.
III-MAN HOW THE CHRISTIAN CONTAMINAN IMPURITIES INSIDE?
A-They do act with perversion or have problems in your environment, whether in your family or your church. Thus we see people violating, serial murderers, including satanic rituals conducted in Juárez, Mexico City, adultery and fornication. Anger and strife, envy and resentment. This type of harm to human emotions because they remain enslaved to social situations that restrict, but especially with God.
B-The patriarch Joseph is a classic example of this point. José emotions were healed when he was ready to forgive and forget. This is demonstrated by the names that put their children:
1. The first was Manasseh that makes one forget, Gn.41: 51. "At first he called Manasseh, for he said:" God has made me forget all my sufferings and all my relatives. "DHH. The bitterness was one of the impure emotions in the heart of Joseph, but time and the blessings of God accomplished that this man could bury his anger and bad memories against their brothers had.
2. The second son Joseph was called Ephraim: Doubly fruitful "is the meaning of the name. Full prosperity just came to Joseph's life after he purified their feelings. God can not bless or exercise great power in life emotionally messy and dirty.
C-In the spiritual realm is several ways in which these are detrimental to Christian
1. Impure emotions hinder the work that the Holy Spirit wants to do in us. Eph.4 :29-32. Verses 31, 32 show the inner life of a person who is not worried about her inner life.
2. The worship of impure people not connected with God, Mt.5: 23ss.
3. The sky is available only for the pure, Psalm 24:3-6.
4. The reason why God has not used is because we have an improper relationship with others. Constant hissing, disqualify, complain about others, and we even hate them. How can we progress as human beings with these defects emotional? How expect our church to grow under these conditions of resentment, anger and even hatred?
5. incapable of good works, Ti.1: 15.16.
D-Example of impurities Emotional
1. Paul talks about anger, saying this should not grow in the heart of the believer, Eph.4: 26. "Uncontrolled anger leads automatically to other remuneration. Discoveries in the field of psychiatry show that passion, resentment, jealousy, revenge and other similar emotions produced in the body secretes toxins that seriously affect health. So the anger is a trend for killer who leads. " Sanders (1994:45).
2. "God is more interested in relationships right in offerings. " Sanders (1994:46), and this is impossible because emotions impure true worship Jesus asks from us, Jn.4: 24. Sander added: "It is impossible to be on bad terms with one brother and at the same time be right with God."
3. A comparative example of appropriate pre-trial reconciliation used by the Lord to mention two people the way to court. Mt.5: 25.26. All we were headed to the view of God is more convenient to fix our anger or other problems before the great day of reckoning arrives. What punishment may deserve a heart full of hatred, resentment, of bitterness, of vanity and pride at the expense of others?
4. PROMOTING THE EMOTIONAL SOMEONE impurities: we must remember that not only can we be keeping anger and resentment within us, it is possible that we are causing in others. So not only are guilty of keeping impure emotions, but also to cause them.
IV-HOW CAN WE FIGHT THE IMPURITY OF OUR SOUL?
A-By the word of God. He.4: 12: "Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow, making discernment desires and innermost thoughts. " The word of God has the ability to make us feel our mistakes and invited to correct, assuming she practices suggests for a complete renovation of our lives.
B-By the power of the Holy Spirit Ti.3 5. Gal.5: 16.
C-We must repent of our actions to achieve God's forgiveness,
D-Praying for renewal. E-Giving
concrete steps for cleaning and renewal.
V-PURITY INTERNAL ORDER AND BENEFIT OUR LIVES:
A-A personality, emotional uncontaminated is a fertile ground for the Spirit God also should be the goal of every Christian, Eph.4: 13.
B-There are a blessing for those who purify their hearts, Mt.5: 8.
C-The Pharisees were not sought for sin until he watched him in action. But Jesus tries to perfect the human being in his inner life. The Lord spoke about the new birth. Born again means a total change of personality and character, a thorough cleaning from the way things feel to how we understand them. The new life in Christ is characterized by internal sources, He.10: 16, by the power of the Holy Spirit. The little we give obedience to the Holy Spirit keeps us spiritually prostrate, not allow us to advance and grow as individuals.
CONCLUSION:
1. Since the purity must be maintained to the end, 1Ti.6: 14, we must strive to keep ourselves clean, 1Tsl.5: 23.
2. The inner life is the most important part of our existence and the greatest treasure we have.
3. The Holy Spirit can renew fully in that part of our vida.Si are not willing to change, unfortunately we will not be accepted into heaven. Let not the anger, resentment, pride, envy. Let us ask the Spirit of God to forgive us and renew us to achieve a complete release in ourselves.
