When we come to God He doesn’t change us He forgives our sins. He doesn’t erase them He forgives them. Basically He says: “Those things don’t matter to me anymore”.

But somewhere someone seemed to forget that and they said “Don’t do this and don’t do that. Or…” So Churches teach that. God didn’t say that people did.

But Jesus told the parable about prodigal son to show us where we belong and that our wrongs will be erased.

So contrary to many religions our relationship with God matters way more than what we do.

That’s why He talks about the heart so much.
