We have all heard the expressions, “trust in your heart”, follow your heart”, “do what your heart tells you”, and “everyone is basically good at heart.”
These common expressions used by man is based on what the world system has taught him. The world system includes our public school system and so-called institutions of higher learning (colleges and universities). The world system includes what our parents and religions teach us. Let us not forget to include the news media and social media in the world system.
However, what does the Creator of the universe, the Almighty God, and the Saviour of mankind, the Lord Jesus Christ has to say about the heart. Buckle up ladies and gentlemen, hear is what thus saith the Lord.
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9
“And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.” Mark 7:20-23
“He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.” Proverbs 28:26
So, let me ask you do you still want to “trust in your heart”, follow your heart”, “do what your heart tells you”, and believe “everyone is basically good at heart.”?
