In 1967, Louis Washkansky, a South African grocer; received the first human heart transplant. In 1982, Dr. Barney Clark, a retired dentist from Seattle, became the first person to receive a permanent artificial heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bible is a book of the heart. Just as we have doctors that tell us about our physical heart, so the Word of God is the \u201cdoctor\u201d that diagnosis our spiritual condition. A careful examination of every human heart reveals a sinful state. In Genesis 6:5, we read, \u201cAnd God saw that\u2026every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jeremiah recognized the symptoms, for he wrote, \u201cThe heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked\u2026\u201d (Jeremiah 17:9). Our Lord confirmed the prophets diagnosis when He said, \u201cFor out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies\u201d (Matthew 15:19). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived said, \u201c\u2026thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men\u201d (2 Chronicles 6:30). God knows your heart, and He is concerned about you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just as there are various degrees of physical heart needs, so it is with spiritual. Hardening of the heart is one of the most serious conditions possible. But there is a remedy for all spiritual heart trouble. God knew about transplants long before doctors started to experiment with them. He gives a new heart to all who repent of sin and receive Christ as their personal Saviour. Along with a new heart, He gives an entirely new life. \u201c\u2026if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new\u201d (2 Corinthians 5:17).
