Matthew 12:34-37
“34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”
If you want to know what is really in the heart of someone just listen to them speak. How a person speaks and what they speak of will tell you a lot about a person. Another words, a person whose heart has a desire for things of the Lord will show that in their speech and actions. Likewise, a person whose heart is upon the things of the world will show that in their speech and actions. Even a person who professes Christ, if you are around them enough, will show their true fruits when the time comes.
God warns us many times in His Word about the condition of our hearts. Even those of His elect does He warn. Where is your heart today? Upon what or who is your heart fixed? When the judgment comes, will you be justified or condemned?
“The heart is deceitful
above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”
Romans
10:10
“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Praise ye the Lord!!!
