Context
V 9 The heart is deceitful Desperately wicked KJV
V 5 -8 Cursed and Blessed
God gives the 2 different Trusts/faith
Trusting in self
trusting in God
and the opposing outcomes of the person
Jeremiah asks the question in V 9
because the heart is sick, and the outside looks so good
The heart is a liar but sounds reasonable
how can we know?
the deacon at church may be a shrub in the wilderness
And the poor widow begging on the street corner is a tree planted by the living water
Who can look at a person and make the determination?
Jeremiah wants to know
Read Jeremiah 17 9-11.
Pray
The Heart
What is the heart
we want to say feelings
heart; one’s inner self; inclination, disposition; determination, courage; will, intention; attention, consideration, reason
The unbeliever’s heart is not able to know the things of God/ Total depravity
the inner man.
who he is, what he thinks, what he believes,
is the Heart/ mind
Jeremiah says the heart is deceitful, and sick
Who knows how to discern the difference?
The Christian Heart
we saw the unbelievers heart
will not accept the things of God
does not understand them
he is an enemy of God
does not seek God, incapable of seeking God
the mind, heart is deceitful and wicked
Read Romans 3 10-17.
But what about the believers heart
Let me ask you 2 questions
1 is what you really think comes out of your mouth?
2 do you lie to yourself and others to make excuses for your actions?
James is talking to the Christian when he says..
Paul is exhorting the Christian to no longer be like the unbeliever
why? because it is in us to
are we capable?
yes we are.
We have the Holy Spirit within us
but we can grieve the Spirit
our hearts are deceitful, our feelings are controlled by our emotions
we jump to conclusions, if others were ever able to see out thoughts...
why do you do what you do? is there a hidden agenda?
All hearts are to some degree deceitful
So how can that change?
Only God can change us, through grace,
He changes us into the image of His Son Jesus
Ministry And The Heart
All unregenerate are totally depraved
their master is satan
they are in bondage to sin and cant get free
and the only way they can be saved is if God regenerates them
thus we need to understand that and pray for them
and understand that and realize who they are and forgive for persecution
and understand that we were the same way until God saved us
and ministry to the sheep
Sheep bite given the notion
why do they get the notion?
because they want to
their depraved heart sometimes come to the surface
the deceitful hart wants to lash out
so what do we do?
we need to understand where it’s coming from
and love them, and care for them
and also understand that we ourselves have bitten the hand that saved us
Our Lord Jesus
the one who came as a human to this planet to live a perfect life
to be a sacrifice to be able to buy us from the slavery to sin
our Lord who bought us with his life blood
to be able to forgive all of our sins
so we could be wedded to Him for eternity, His grace that will be lavished on to us
so in light of that what do we do?
we forgive and love
and we allow the Almighty to judge
God The Judge
V 10
God is the one who judges the mind / heart
he knows the the real intention behind the action
He knows when the good action has a bad intention
He also knows when the not so good action has a really good intention
God knows the heart, the will, the mind
He is the perfect Judge
and Justice will be served
V 11
the unjust will pay for their crimes
The crimes of the unjust will be paid
either by yourself
or by Jesus on the cross
For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6 23
The heart is desperately wicked
Jesus is the only solution to this problem
wont you put your faith in Him?
Don’t let your deceitful heart rob you of a changed life
