MARK 7:17-23
The heart is as important as help the body if the heart is affected, same happens to the whole body. It is the center of decision (good or bad). The source of sin is within. Jesus made it clear that our unclean hearts defile our thoughts, speech, and deeds. We desperately need the cleansing and renewal of our hearts, which is what God gives us in Christ (Titus 3:5). At the same time, Jesus points to the true source of moral defilement – the human heart, which is the center of our being and from it comes thoughts, emotions and actions that pollute us. Jesus then gave the list of sins that flow from the heart; evil thoughts, all acts of sexual immorality, murder, adultery, coveting and theft, deliberate malice, jealousy, treachery, evil speaking, pride and foolishness. Mark 7:20-22

    We desperately need the cleansing and renewal of our hearts, which is what God gives us in Christ (Titus 3:5).   

PRAYER: May our grateful response be a desire to cultivate pure hearts by God’s enabling grace in Jesus name.
