Here’s a great quote to consider regarding the affections of your heart:
“I have grown use to giving up on the idea that there is any quality in my heart at all, call it either faith or love. In their place I put Christ and say: ‘He is my Righteousness’ “ (St. L. XXI a:1669).

encourageing quote, at first blush. and yet…and yet the fig tree that does not bear fruit is cut down. the salt without saltiness is trampled underfoot. faith without works is dead. if looking inside one does not find evidence of new birth, perhaps there is cause for concern.
