The part of The Bear that stood out for me was where he says “He didn’t have His Book written to be read by what must elect and choose, but by the heart, not by the wise of the earth…” (249). I particularly liked this passage because of the truth it speaks about God’s word. His Word was not written to just know about it but to be taken to heart and we are to live by the Word rather than by the Earth’s word. In the Gospel of John, Christ says “they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world” prompting us to live in Him rather than the things of this world and I believe this is what McClasin was explaining. That it is all a matter of the heart and us being in Him and only Him.
I love how you connected this. There is a change of heart when one becomes a Christian and with that must come a change of lifestyle.
