ASSURANCES FROM THE HEART
The Bible has a lot to say about the heart of man.
Our hearts are wicked and deceitful above all things. Jeremiah 17:9
Jesus said that all wickedness first emanates from the heart. Mark 2:20-21
Proverbs 23:7 says That “as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”
This is why we need new hearts and is why --- at salvation --- God gives us new hearts.
That new heart which you are given at salvation will provide you with the blessed assurance of salvation.
Proverbs 4:23 says that we are to “keep our hearts with all diligence.”
Our heart is command central, the ruling center of our lives.
It is a PURE heart! Matthew 5:8 says “blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.”
This heart is fixed upon a pure object > Jesus.
It drinks from a pure fountain.
It delights in a pure Law.
It looks forward to eternity with a pure Savior.
It values the living of a pure life.
It values things that are holy.
It purifies the understanding.
It purifies the will from self consumption.
It cleanses the heart from the love of all evil.
What kind of heart do you have?
“Take My Life and Let it Be”
