Positive Quote for the Week: The Sins of Your Heart

When people think of sin, they often only limit it to the ones that are an act of doing something like: fornication, adultery, drinking, stealing, or doing drugs. That is so far from the truth, there are sins committed in your heart that are just as bad. We have to remember that sin is sin regardless of what the transgression is.

Jeremiah 17:9 lays it out perfectly when the prophet writes, “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?” The Word of God really cannot get any clearer than that. Our hearts are extremely deceiving because a lot of us make most of our decisions based off of our emotions.

It is a dangerous thing when you allow the enemy to get inside your heart and corrupt it. He will easily turn that distaste into animosity which will lead to bitterness and then hate. Once the devil creates these foot holds in your life, he can alter the way that you begin to think about everything.

That is why God’s Word lets us know that we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, Romans 12:2. When you allow the Lord’s Word to cleanse you in every area of your life you will see significant changes in the way that you think. The way that we do that is by reading, studying, and abiding by the undiluted Word of the living God.

 Scriptures pertaining to sins of the heart:

Pride-

Mark 7:21-22 “For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, and evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.”

Jealousy-

2 Corinthians 12:20 “For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, backbitings, whisperings, conceits, tumults.”

Hatred-

Titus 3:3 “For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.”

Anger-

Ephesians 4:26 “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath.”

Bitterness-

Ephesians 4:31 “Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.”

Lust-

1 Peter 4:3 “For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.”
