Reading from the KJV - The condition of one’s heart is just as important in the spiritual realm as it is in the physical realm - It is for this reason the scriptures say so much about the heart and why Solomon wrote - {Keep thy heart with all diligence - for out of it are the issues of life} - {Proverbs 4:23} - The spiritual condition of one’s heart will determine how one responds to the Lord - and ultimately - it will have a huge impact on each of us in eternity. Since God is - {not willing that any should perish} - {2 Pet. 3:9} - Everyone has the option to be saved from eternal punishment - The Lord seeks with every individual to do what He did with Lydia - {whose heart the Lord opened} - {Acts 16:14} - drawing him or her to a personal decision of saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. However - because many resist and refuse this internal Salvation of the Lord - they remain as some to whom Paul wrote in the Roman epistle - {But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God} - {Romans 2:5}. Thankfully - many do choose to open their hearts to the Salvation God offers - Countless numbers of people have {called on the Lord out of a pure heart} - {2 Timothy 2:22}. Many of believers today seek to leave behind the regular practice of sin because they - {have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you} - {Romans 6:17}. Thank God for the many believers who - {doing the will of God from the heart} - {Ephesians 6:6} - Those who choose such a path do so because they are choosing to - {keep their heart with all diligence} - They do so by regularly taking in the Word of God and applying proper truth to the way they live each day. Another reminder from the Lord is found in - {Galatians 5:16} - This I say then - Walk in the Spirit - and ye shall - {NOT} - fulfill the lust of the flesh.
