This is the day.

THE HEART

Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

The first time the heart is mentioned in the Bible, it is in this light. Man's heart is evil. In the world today, everybody tells us to "follow our hearts," or they tell us "I felt it in my heart." We can clearly see from this passage, that our hearts cannot be trusted. We are warned about the wickedness of man's heart throughout the Word of God. The only type of heart that can be trusted, is the one that has been surrendered to God. The heart is the key to belief in God, and, therefore, a key to salvation. Once we are saved, we can then begin to slightly trust our hearts, but we still must be careful, because there are two natures working within us, and the one that has controlled our hearts the longest is very, very wicked.
