YES GOD DOES LOOK AT THE HEART, BUT WHAT WILL HE SEE IN YOUR HEART?
People use the phrase,” being a christian is about the heart” to defend a lifestyle of sin because they want to be comfortable in their sin, so that they cannot find a solution to get rid of their sin and instead embrace it.
God does look at the heart because it is possible for someone to appear holy before people yet be living in sin secretly and so if you outwardly appear holy yet secretly in sin,God will still be able to see it.
Such a person cannot deceive God as He searches the hearts of men.
While it is possible for someone to appear holy and yet not be holy,it is NOT possible for someone to appear in sin and yet not have sin in their heart.
How can a person commit adultery without first conceiving the thought in their heart? Can you then say even if they have committed adultery, there is a chance that their heart is clean and not full of adultery?
Because they commit adultery, even when God looks at their heart, He will still see the same adulterous thoughts.
How can a person steal and yet have a clean heart that is free from all thoughts of stealing?
Even when God looks at their heart, He will still see their thoughts of theft.
How can a person gossip yet have a good and clean heart that is free from gossip? Don’t they conceive the malicious words in their heart first?
How can a person swear and cuss yet have a heart full of clean and pure words?
How can a person be so vain yet have a heart free from vanity?
When a person commits sin, it is because that sin started from their heart, then they act on it and it shows outside.
While it is possible for an unholy person to pretend to be holy yet secretly living in sin, it is not possible for a person to be holy yet commit acts of unrighteousness.
A person whose heart is filled with sin can cover up their sin in pretense and dress modestly like a muslim,yet their heart is full of darkness and God will still look in their heart and see their pretense and sin.
But it is not possible for someone to have a heart that is pure and holy,yet wear seductive and sensual clothes.
Before wearing them,they first conceive the look in their heart and are satisfied with it,showing that God’s Spirit isn’t in your heart or else He would convict you.
Being modest doesn’t make a person holy,but a person cannot be holy without being modest.
Being modest is not holiness, but its is a part of holiness, if it is omitted, holiness is not there.
Holiness must include purity of heart,speech,thoughts,character,dressing and every area of your life.
A little leaven leavens the whole loaf.
If you cleanse your heart from ungodly speech, cleanse your life from ungodly character, from adultery,drunkenss and all manner of sin but if you still wear immodest clothing and tolerating vanity Jesus will not accept you because your holiness is not complete, you have not yet surrendered that part of your life to Jesus.
You must catch the little foxes that ruin the vineyard so that the harvest may be abundant.
It is the same thing if someone dresses modestly yet they engage in other sin,the entire harvest will be ruined.
It’s a journey of completely surrendering every part of your life at the feet of Jesus, withholding no part of your life. Every part must be surrendered at His feet.
Every part of our lives must be dead and crucified with Jesus,then Jesus births out a brand new person.That is why Jesus said you cannot patch a new cloth on an old cloth,it wont work.
Or new wine in old wine skins,it wont work,they will burst.
You cannot join the old and new.You must completely get rid of the old so that everything is made new.
Everything a person does, reveals what their heart is like.
It is possible that a person can hide a heart filled with sin through pretense, yet it is not possible for a heart filled with righteousness to be hidden because the righteousness will radiate in every part of that person’s life.
Jesus said good tree is known by its fruit, a bad tree will also known by its fruit.
Do not be deceived brothers and sisters,that you can have a clean heart while your works are evil,it’s not possible.
Even when God looks deep in your heart He will see the evil because all the sin you do,it is first conceived in your heart.
Get rid of sin by crucifying the flesh through prayer.Sin is deadly, if you are stuck in sin and cannot stop kill it in prayer and fasting.
Pray and fast and ask Jesus to free you from those sins,to break the yolk of sin.
Thinking that even if you are in sin,your heart is clean is deception.
If your heart is clean,everything you do will be clean and holy.
1 JOHN 3:7-8
”Little children,let no one decive you.He who practices righteousness is righteous,just as He is righteous.He who sins is of the devil,for the devil has sinned from the beginning.For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.”
