Change the World or Change Hearts?

"The whole world lies in the grip of the evil one." -- 1 John 5:19

"The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick, who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9

"Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death He might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery." Hebrews 2:14-15

"But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved." Romans 10:8-10

Where should our focus be?

The world is at enmity with God; there is no remedy for this. (James 4:4, John 15:18) However the hearts of people are redeemable and will be changed from hearts of stone to hearts of flesh (2 Cor 3:3) when we place our faith in Jesus! We can be sure that we are transferred from the kingdom of darkness and the world into the kingdom of His Son Jesus. Col 1:13

Through the proclamation of the Gospel the Spirit of God changes the hearts of men, women and children. He has done so for millennia and will continue do so!
