Christ Must Change our Hearts

"Ephesians 2:10
"10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.:
God must change our hearts and does so in direct proportions to how often we confess our sins and flaws. The more we confess to be cleansed by Him the more we grow in holiness.
The more we try to fix ourselves the less we grow. Pride is involved in thinking we can fix ourselves by following all the rules.
When Christ changes us we do obey Him but it isn't because we work hard to follow rules, it's because our heart has been changed by Him and we love to obey Him.
The harder we work to be what we should be in the flesh the more prideful we become and the less effective in changing in any real sense. This is why we see so many "Christians" suddenly revert back to their old selves when they become weary of working in the flesh.
When we submit to Christ He does all the work in us and the change is permanent because our heart is changed not just our superficial actions.
Want to become more holy with each new lesson, you will do it by asking Christ to change you.
