We have access to God through Christ alone. He proved who He was through His resurrection - and we are delivered through Him. But we must have faith.
Riches can have such a tight hold on man. They grip our hearts in ways very few other things can, but praise God all chains can be broken by Christ!
A heart for God is developed in a man by believing in the heart and obeying from the heart, and is tested in words that come from the heart.

There should never be a limitation a Christian's scope of concern for people, but our passage of the day doesn't fail to give us specifics.

That which is included in our passage of the day must be taken into account. We must reckon with it - inwardly. It must occupy our thinking.
