a new heart, is a book that takes up the basic principles of our transformation in Christ. Like a close friend, Wendy Bello explains to us in a simple and delicate way what it means to have a new heart and the implications that this has in our daily lives.
I consider these to be some of his best quotes. In parentheses are the positions in the Kindle edition of the book.
- “The new heart is a miracle with the signature of God.” (loc. 176)
- “That sick and dead heart that we have inherited can only be made new by divine intervention. Only the same God who created it can transform it. Only God can bring him from death to life.” (loc. 271)
- “Christ cannot be Savior and not be Lord, he is both or he is nothing.” (loc.319)
- “May sin become so real that you have no choice but to confess it to God and ask for His forgiveness.” (loc.338)
- “The more I seek His face in prayer, the more my desires align with the Father’s. The more I know of his Word, the more I know of his character, and this more permeates mine. This is how my heart is sanctifying.” (loc.481)
- “The old heart, without Christ, cannot know God, cannot reach Him, cannot climb the mountain, cannot be in His presence; the new and clean heart, regenerated by grace, yes.” (loc.489)
- “Confessing our sins is an acknowledgment of who we are and who God is.” (loc. 562)
- “My life, whether in actions or words, reflects what my heart delights in.” (loc. 681)
- “This must also be the goal in our walk with Jesus: that as the years go by, when someone looks at us, talks with us and sees us act, they can perceive that we have lived together with the Master, at His feet.” (loc.727)
- “Those who delight in God desire only that which pleases God.” (loc.744)
- “We become what we contemplate, our heart abounds in what delights it.” (loc.756)
- “We spend our lives demanding rights, but rarely do we volunteer to give up what we consider our privileges.” (loc.1,269)
- “The desires of our hearts run towards pride, those of the Spirit towards humility.” (loc. 1,330)
- “A new heart is a forgiving heart because it itself has received the greatest forgiveness.” (loc. 1,575)
- “Every soul that has not found Christ will always be tired; but when our eyes meet His, we live, we rest at last!” (loc. 2,060)
- “What, in my opinion, I may lack is because He, in His divine wisdom and sovereignty, has determined that I do not need it.” (loc. 2,068)
- “That is the true rest: knowing that Jesus is my Good Shepherd, that is why I have what I need.” (loc. 2,083)
- “Your life and mine only find true rest in someone, not in something. And that someone is Christ. He gives rest to our hearts.” (loc. 2,252)
- “A heart full of faith is an obedient heart.” (loc. 2,428)
- “We have believed yet another lie, that it is possible to have on this side of eternity what has only been promised to us for the other.” (loc. 2,690)
