What Did Jesus Say? - About The
condition Of The Heart?
In its' natural state, the heart
of man is desperately wicked. Who can know it?
When the bible speaks of the
heart, it is not referring to the physical heart, the pump that
circulates the blood through our bodies, but is speaking of the
innermost personality, the mind and the soul.
In the depth of our subconscious
mind there are impurities which have been inherited from our
ancestors down through the ages. Until we are changed by being born
again, as it were, by receiving Christ as our Savior and allowing the
Holy Spirit to descend into the basement of our mind and soul, and
dig out those evil thoughts and imaginations, and rebellion against
God, we cannot expect the Holy Spirit to feel at home there.
There is no cleaning detergent on
earth that can purify our innermost being, our heart, and soul,
except the shed blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
When we have believed, and
received him by faith, and allowed him to apply his blood to our
account, his blood washes us and makes us whiter than snow.
When our hearts are pure because
of what Christ has accomplished for us, then we are considered pure
in heart, and we can sense the presence of God in our lives, and we
can see God as he wants us to see him.
Jesus said: “Blessed are the
pure in heart: for they shall see God.” Matthew 5: 8.
