Recap

We continue with the series of the heart of man and this is Part 2 of that Bible study. Before we start, I would like to recap on last week’s discussion and briefly repeat some of the Scriptures. We began with Matthew 15 where Jesus says,

Matt 15:8“This people honors Me with their lips, but
their heart is far away from Me.”

Where is your heart? Here Jesus speaks of a hypocritical religion where everything seems to be fine on the outside, but in the heart things are not well. We also examined Matthew 12 where Jesus speaks of the treasure of the heart.

Matt 12:35 “The good man out of his good treasure brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth what is evil.”

In other words, when we speak, we speak out of the heart. James writes about how our words are like the rudder of a ship, giving direction to our lives. What comes out of your mouth is extremely important, and that which comes out of your mouth, comes from your heart. Therefore, what is in your heart, is who you are; it is who you become. That is the direction your life will take.
