Luke 11:33-36

Luke 11:33-36

1. We learn the importance of making a good use of religious light and privileges.
2. We learn the value of a single and undivided heart in religion.

"A man's religion may well be suspected, when he is content to go to heaven alone."

"It is a heart which abhors all compromises, all luke-warmness, all halting between two opinions in religion. It sees one mighty object--the love of Christ dying for sinners. It has one mighty aim--to glorify God and do His will. It has one mighty desire, to please God and be commended by Him."

Questions:

1. In what ways are the truths of God’s Word shining forth from our lives? Do our lives commend the gospel we love to our family members, friends, and colleagues?

2. Ryle points out the value of being single-hearted and thorough in religion. How single-hearted are we? What are areas the Holy Spirit might be pointing out that need to be under His control?
