“Who Really Understands the Human Heart?”

“Who Really Understands the Human Heart?”

 

The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked.  Who really knows how bad it is?  “But I, the LORD search ALL HEARTS and examine secret motives.  I give ALL people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.”   Jeremiah 17:9-10

 

 

In verses five through eight, the Prophet Jeremiah, has laid out the contrast of the way of the wicked with the way of the righteous.  The WICKED person is CURSED, and the RIGHTEOUS person is BLESSED.  The WICKED person TRUSTS in their self or in other human beings, and NOT in God, but the RIGHTEOUS person places their CONFIDENCE or TRUST TOTALLY in God.

 

So, if the ways  of BLESSING and CURSING are so CLEAR, why would people want to CONTINUE in their transgressions?  The answer for that is, the HEART.  The Prophet Jeremiah, tells us that the HEART is the MOST DECEITFUL of ALL things, and DESPERATELY WICKED. This means that the wickedness of a person comes from the desire of the HEART.  When a person comes to the Lord Jesus Christ, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, they are FORGIVEN of their sins, because their HEART has been cleansed by the BLOOD of JESUS.  Now, keep in mind that this CLEANSING is a continual process, in which ALL our sins are FORGIVEN. 

 

God says: “I, the LORD, search ALL HEARTS and examine SECRET MOTIVES.  I give ALL people their due or just rewards, according to what their actions deserve.”  God is ALL KNOWING, He knows our INNERMOST THOUGHTS and MOTIVES, which some people might  try to HIDE from others, BUT you cannot HIDE anything from the ALMIGHTY GOD.  He SEES and KNOWS EVERYTHING we THINK, or DO.  And so, He gives EACH person what He deems their ACTIONS DESERVE.  For the WICKED, those who have NOT GIVEN their HEARTS  and LIVES to GOD their plight will be an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once they are there. For the RIGHTEOUS, those who HAVE GIVEN their HEARTS AND LIVES to GOD, and are His TRUE CHILDREN, they will receive an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.

 

In order to have an ETERNITY in Heaven, you MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, the Lord Jesus Christ, and His CLEANSING PROCESS of your HEART.   You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION, and receive your JUST REWARDS, an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.   Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING AND COMING SOON!!!
