Main Idea: There are certain dangers that Jesus shows that keep people from truly following Him. A hardened heart that keeps people from believing. Teaching that is not biblically accurate. A life that says one thing but portrays something else. A life of self-reliance instead of on God. Forgetting the work of the Lord in your life.
Main Idea: A clean heart before God is made pure by grace through faith in Christ, not by rituals and traditions. Religion that controls. (v. 1-8) Religion that corrupts. (v. 9-13) We are corrupted by what is already in our heart. (v. 14-23)
