A CLEAN HEART (5)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Create in me a clean heart
a) Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. {11} Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. {12} Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit. {13} Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You. {14} Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. {15} O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise. {16} For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. {17} The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart; These, O God, You will not despise. (Psalms 51:10-17 NKJV)
2. Other Scriptures
(Joel 2:12-13 NKJV)
“Now, therefore,” says the LORD, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” {13} So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm.
(Habakkuk 2:4 NKJV)
“Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.
(Matthew 5:3-10 NKJV)
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. {4} Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted. {5} Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth. {6} Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. {7} Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. {8} Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. {9} Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. {10} Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

(Matthew 9:12-13 NKJV)
When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those
who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. {13}
“But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’
For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
(Mark 12:29-31 NKJV)
Jesus answered him, “The first of all the
commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one.
{30} ‘And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all
your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the
first commandment. {31} “And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall
love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater
than these.”
(Luke 1:50-52 NKJV)
And His mercy is on those who fear Him From
generation to generation. {51} He has shown strength with His arm; He
has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. {52} He has
put down the mighty from their thrones, And exalted the lowly.
