Introduction
In the Bible, the heart is the center of not only our spiritual activity, but it is the center of all operations of human life.
It is the seat of your conscience.
It is why you do what you do.
It is the essence of you are.
Solomon tells us in the book of Proverbs that we should guard our hearts, because out of it flows the springs of life.
For it is out of the heart in which our mouth speaks.
It is out of the heart where we choose to place our money.
It is out of our heart that causes us to make the decisions we make.
It is out of the heart that determines our character and personality.
Whatever is in your heart will determine the fruit what comes out of your life.
HEART—According to the Bible, the heart is the centre not only of spiritual activity, but of all the operations of human life.
The heart is the “home of the personal life,” and hence a man is designated, according to his heart, wise (1 Kings 3:12, etc.), pure (Ps. 24:4; Matt. 5:8, etc.), upright and righteous (Gen. 20:5, 6; Ps. 11:2; 78:72), pious and good (Luke 8:15), etc.
The heart is also the seat of the conscience (Rom. 2:15). It is naturally wicked (Gen. 8:21), and hence it contaminates the whole life and character (Matt. 12:34; 15:18; comp. Eccl. 8:11; Ps. 73:7). Hence the heart must be changed, regenerated (Ezek. 36:26; 11:19; Ps. 51:10–14), before a man can willingly obey God.
