Everyone’s heart is filthy. The Lord bore all our sins once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist and saved us all by dying on the Cross. The Lord has washed our hearts from all our sins. The Lord will be happy when our hearts are all cleansed. 

Mark 7:20-23: “What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”

When we acknowledge the Lord’s Word and look at ourselves honestly, we cannot help but admit our sinfulness and say to Him, “Lord, You are right. You saw right through me. You are completely right. You have spoken plainly and clearly. Your Word is true. I am indeed who you say I am. I am such a sinner." That is why we need the Lord who has blotted out all our sins with the gospel of the water and the Spirit. https://www.bjnewlife.org/en/sermons/sermonsDetail.php?idx=3313&findLang=English
