We Need a Heart Righteousness
When true revival comes, we will know it when we hear the cries of mourning. Those cries are not being heard today but when God moves in a mighty wind of revival fire on this nation, people will begin to cry out for mercy. Why? Because they will realize their deplorable sinful condition and they will mourn over it. Today, we need brokenness as a people. When brokenness comes on this nation, then revival will come. When revival comes, heart righteousness will prevail in the land as it has in the past. That's what the Sermon on the Mount is all about. Jesus teaches us what heart righteousness really is. When we see what it is, we can see our own sinfulness. This sermon ought to drive us to Christ. It should cause us to cry out for mercy as we see the darkness of our own hearts. It should show us our need for a Savior.
