Final Message of Heart

A Message of Heart

Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.¹ But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.² For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.³ But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.⁴ But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.⁵ And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.⁶ But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.⁷ For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.⁸ That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,⁹ And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.¹⁰ And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.¹¹ For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.¹² Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.¹³ Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.¹⁴ Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:¹⁵ Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.¹⁶ But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.¹⁷ And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;¹⁸ Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.¹⁹ Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;²⁰ Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:²¹ (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.²²
