Madness of the Human Heart

Jonathan Edwards on True and False ConversionConscience in man says: "Thou shalt," and "Thou shalt not," "I ought," and "I ought not." These mandates are not self-imposed. They imply the existence of a Moral Governor to whom we are responsible. Conscience,--there it is in the breast of man, an ideal Moses thundering from an invisible Sinai the Law of a holy Judge. Said Cardinal Newman: "Were it not for the voice speaking so clearly in my conscience and my heart, I should be an atheist, or a pantheist, when I looked into the world." Some things are wrong, others right: love is right, hatred is wrong. Nor is a thing right because it pleases, or wrong because it displeases. Where did we get this standard of right and wrong? Morality is obligatory, not optional. Who made is obligatory? Who has a right to command my life? We must believe that there is a God, or believe that the very root of our nature is a lie.

Jonathan Edwards: Biography

Rev. Thomas Adam wrote: "It is a great point of religion to know the heart. I see but a very small part of its deceit, hypocrisy, and desperate wickedness." Knowledge of the heart of man is critical to all who are involved in ministry in any way and also to the individual professor of the gospel who is willing to do what Paul commanded, "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith" 
 (2 Corinthians 13:5). Knowing the Heart: Jonathan Edwards on True and False Conversion is a book of sermons and treatises by Jonathan Edwards dealing with the depravity of the heart, the hardening of the heart, and the nature of true and false conversion. There is commentary on each one of the manuscripts by William C. Nichols explaining what we can learn about the heart and conversion from each sermon and also how to apply it in evangelism and preaching the gospel message. Only one sermon in this book has ever been published before and that was in 2002. 

 

                                               Some of the sermons that are included are:

The Heart of Man is Exceeding Deceitful

Man Is Naturally a Proud Creature

The Nature of Man is so Corrupted that He Is Become a Very Evil and Hateful Creature

Those That God Hates, He Oftentimes Gives Plenty of Earthly Things To

The Gadarenes Loved Their Swine Better Than Jesus Christ

A Pretence of Trusting in Christ is a Vain Pretence as Long as Men Live Wicked Lives

Men Are Exceeding Prone to Bring Their Principles to Agree With Their Lusts

Persons Ought Not to Rest Ignorant and Unresolved About Their Own State Whether They Be Real Christians or No

A Man May Eternally Undo Himself in One Thought of His Heart

Particular Repentance is Necessary to Salvation

 Jere 17:9  "The Heart is Deceitful above all things....."

Only God Knows the Hearts of Men  
1Kings8:39

"Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place and forgive and do and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou  knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)" 

        There are two points that have my attention as I look at this prayer of King Solomon.  First is the fact that only the Lord truly knows the hearts of men.  So often we see people acting this way or that, and we make judgments.  We assume that we can figure out why it is that people acted.  We think we know what was in their hearts.

        However, God reveals to us here that only he knows what is in the heart of a man.  Only God can tell the motivation of a person.  Only God knows why people do the things that they do.  Only God can see past a person’s actions to see the why of those actions.

        Now, think about that truth as you consider how you make judgments.  Do you often think to yourself, “I know what he was really thinking?”  Do you ever assume that, though a person says they did something for one reason, you know that they really did it for another reason?  Only God can see into their hearts, so be very careful assuming you can see where only God can see.

        Now, let’s see one more point—a theological one—that is very significant.  Only God can see into the hearts of men.  What then do these verses tell us?

John 2:24-25
"But  Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,   
and needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man."


Matthew 9:4
"And  Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?"

Luke 9:47
"And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,  
 Only God knows the hearts of men.  Jesus knew the hearts of these men.  Jesus knows what only God knows. 
Jesus does what only God does.  Jesus is God—not less.


           So, you do not know the hearts of men, because you are not God. 
Jesus knows the hearts of men, because he is God.  Do not assume you can judge the motivation of others, because you cannot see into their hearts.  Know, however, that Jesus can see your heart,
so do not think you can fool him at all.

            What God Says About the Heart!


I n t r o d u c t i o n :

The word,  h e a r t , is used over 900 times in the Word of God so surely it must be 
important. In recent years modern medicine has achieved some of its greatest 
advances for most medicine, and techniques are new in the past 30 years or so.
Now among other things that prolong life is  a heart transplant... the hope of a 
prolonged life through the medium of receiving a new heart. At the first reported 
transplant in December of 1967 the American populous was in a stir. At that time it 
was hailed as the one of the greatest advances of recent years. How would you like to 
have been in that man’s shoes to be the first one who gave a surgeon the right to take 
out, remove and replace your heart? 


God has been in that business for a long, long time even for centuries. Consider 
Ezekiel 36:26, 27.   God has performed many heart operations  on many millions of 
people who received spiritually, a new heart. 



I. DIFFERENT USES OF THE WORD -- HEART

Consider with me that we use the word  h e a r t in a number of different ways.
Generally we use it in three different ways -- 
1)  the seat of affection,  so we speak of loving someone with all our heart,  
2)   we use it to speak of zeal, courage or d e t e r m i n a t i o n , as we do something

with all our heart, and we use it to speak of  
3) the physical heart in our bodies. 

We must understand what the Bible means by the word,  h e a r t .

A . There is the Physical heart:
Central organ of the vascular system, a muscle that propels the blood through 
the body by contractions and dilations. The heart is a large muscle, weighs about 
3/4 of a pound,  and has the most difficult job of any organ in the body.  Hold out 
your hand, clinch the fingers into a fist, let the fingers relax slightly, then squeeze 
them together powerfully.  Imagine that you repeat this with your hand, 70 times 
every minute, without stopping, hour upon hour and you have done this since 
before you were born. 
The heart is a pump that moves a stream of liquid known as the blood throughout 
the entire body. This blood carries with it life to all the cells throughout the body.
The heart beats or contracts between 60 to 80 times a minute, 4,320 times an hour, 
100,000 times a day, or 40 million times a year.  It exerts enough energy every 24 
hours to raise a 2 lb. weight 12 miles into the air, and it moves more than 10 tons of 
blood during this period. 

The heart is a mighty work of a great God.

B. The Seat of affection:  
We use the word heart to speak of affections, or emotions. We sometimes make a 
drawing of a heart to speak of our love and giving all we have. 
Also we speak of some ones heart of courage, determination and zeal as someone 
gives their whole heart to something they do. 
      

II. THE BIBLE TERM -- THE HEART:


The word heart is mentioned over 900 times in the Bible.  What is God speaking 
about ?  The heart is the very center of man’s being... that is true of the organ and 

also true of God’s meaning of the word heart.  As the heart (physical) is the key to life 
and death, so the hear as used in the Word of God is that which is the very center of 
man’s life. 

In Acts 8:21, Peter said to Simon the sorcerer, “For thy heart is not right in the sight 
of God.”   Was he speaking of a diseased heart?  Peter was speaking about the fact that 
Simon did not have his life yielded to God. His affections,  his motives, his desires, 
were not according to the will of God.

A . The heart is the center of our personality:

1 . With the heart, man thinks --  Heb. 4:12
2 . With the heart, man reasons --  Mk 2:6-8
3 . With the heart, man understands -- Matt 13:15
4 . With the heart, man believes --  Rom. 10:9,10
5 . The heart has emotions --  Matt. 22: 36-29
6 . The heart wills, purposes, or determines --  II Cor. 9:7 

B. Man must have a heart right with God:
Psa. 139:23-24
   God looks on the heart;  He knows what is in your heart.



III.  THE NEED OF A NEW HEART:


Why do we need a new heart?  Because the heart is hateful,  full of evil,  set to 
do evil  and rebellious, prone to every kind of sin.. covetous, hateful, etc.  Jere. 17:9

A . Your heart is a diseased heart:

Your inner most being, the real you, your inner most personality, what you are 
the center of your being - that part of you is diseased with sin and that is why we 
need a new heart.    Jere 17:9;  Matt 12:34;  Matt. 15:19
Those who needed physical transplants or a new heart have a diseased heart, 
worn out, with no hope. They volunteered for a new heart with nothing to lose and
e v e r y thing  to gain  for  death was   imminent  anyway .  
D. L. Moody used to use this illustration:  He would say,  “Suppose we could take 
your heart, place it in a glass cage and then suppose that everybody could walk by, look 
in that cage and see just what you are -- suppose everyone could see what you think, 
what you desire, what your motives are; all your secret thoughts.”  What would you 
do?  Would you want to put drapes over the cage, or would you be willing to have 
any and all see your heart or would you admit you need a new heart? 
God says that every person has a heart that needs to be change...  that we 
desperately need a new heart! 

B. God Offers Us a new heart: 


1 . God wants to give you a new heart... God told Israel, Ezek 36:26-27... not 
the offer of a transplant of a new physical heart, but the implanting of a 

Divine  nature .  
 
a . a spiritual  heart transformation. . .  
b . an inusing into man’s life spiritual life that which he did not have --- 
c . to be born again:  Titus 3:5;  II Cor. 6:16,  II Cor. 5:17 


2 . God alone can give a new heart:

a . God alone can perform the miracle of a complete transformation of the 
heart... and thus of the life itself.
b . We become His workmanship,  Eph. 2:8-10

3 . The old sinful heart is incurably wicked;  hopeless; 

a . can’t be improved;  can’t just patch it up;  can’t just give medication;  
b . the world tries --  education, environment, change, reformation,  
bapt i sm,  works ,   e t c .

4 . We need a brand new heart;   can’t walk right, talk right, act right, 
live right until you get a new heart.       Matt. 15:19


5 . This is what God is offering today --  to whosoever will;   a new heart, a new 
life... made over, given a new heart.

6 . You can easily see that only God can do this, yes, only the Godhead three 
can pe r form  thi s  miracle .
a . It requires a skilled spiritual surgeon;
b . It requires one who can remove a diseased, corrupt, vile, wicked, 
degenerate  heart .  

7 . This offer from God is free -- fully provided for;  Ezek 36:26-27
Heb 8, 9;   John 1:11-13;  Isa. 55:1-2;  Rom. 3:9 thru 3:24;    John 3:15;  John 3:36;   John 5:24;



IV. THE NEED OF A YIELDED HEART:

A . After salvation, we must protect our hearts:    Prov. 4:23


1 . A new heart requires constant care just as a new physical heart would 
require  constant  care oversight, many restrictions, concerns, etc .  

2 . If you had a new physical heart, would you take extra care.... protect it ??
You would read over again...  Care for your heart;  watch what you eat; take 
care of your heart.

B. After our Salvation... we must yield our hearts:

1 . Acts. 11:23;   “with purpose of heart cleave unto the Lord.”

2 . Dan. 1:8  “Daniel purposed in his heart....”
3 . I Pet. 3:15  “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts....”
4 . James 4:8  “Purify your hearts ye double minded!”
5 . Eph. 6:6 “Doing the will of God from the heart.”
6 . Eph. 5:19  “Singing and making melody from the heart.”
7 . Deut 13:3;  Deut. 30:6;  Matt 22:37; Mark 12:30-33;  
Luke 10:27 ....  “Thou shalt love the Lord the God with all thy heart.........”
I Sam 16:7;       Rom. 10:9-10;     I Cor. 6:19

The Two Natures
Picture
                                                   Selfishness: The Essence of Moral Depravity 

by Nathanael Emmons is a collection of twenty sermons by Nathanael Emmons on the vital issues of sin, human depravity, and the judgment of God. In these sermons Emmons explains the sinful human condition in a way which sheds clear light on the heart of the sinner, so that even the most hardened sinner can understand his corruption. Emmons wrote: "All sin is of the same nature, and essentially consists in selfishness. Sin is a transgression of the law of love; and nothing but selfishness is a transgression of that law. God commands all men to love him supremely, and one another as themselves. When any man loves himself more than God, and his own good more than the good of any of his fellow-creatures, he is totally selfish; and his selfishness is a transgression of the divine law. All sinfulness may be traced to selfishness as its source. Men never act from any worse than selfish motives." The message of this book is vital to true Christianity. Some of the sermons in this volume are The Sin of Following the Multitude to Do Evil, Secure Sinners Love Their Security, Selfishness the Essence of Moral Depravity, The Deceitfulness of the Human Heart, Christ Will Reject Mercenary Followers, The Moral Inability of Sinners, The Character and State of Judas, Reprobation, and The Vindictive Justice of God. 
                        
                             "Our Vile Body"

                                           All Scripture taken from King James Bible


Philippians 3:21  Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, 
according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.



Many today, especially among religious groups, traditionalists, and denominationalists, teach after salvation, our flesh is some how better, that it is

some how holy and righteous, that it is some how sinless. And in the same breath tell you that if you sin you must go to an alter or to a priest, or to a pastor. This is not truth in teaching. It is not truth in application. It is not truth at al. In fact notice the scriptures below.

Romans 1:21-23, Rom. 1:24-27 show that flesh is vile. 

Romans 1:21  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Romans 1:22  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Romans 1:23  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Romans 1:24  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Romans 1:25  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Romans 1:26  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature (Lesbianism):

Romans 1:27  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men (Homosexuality) working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 

Genesis 6:1-4 thru Gen. 6:12 show what happened in the flesh after Adam sinned. 1  And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

Genesis 6:2  That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. Vs 2 the sons of God saw the daughters of men is dealing with NOT men with women, which is the set natural order, but is Angles with women, which produced mutations, or Giants, which was an attempt to polute the Genetics in all flesh so Christ could not be born of a pure blood line.

Genesis 6:3  And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet 
his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. If nothing wicked was going on, then why did God say in vs 3 My spirit shall not always strive with man? If not one thing was wrong, then what was God reacting to?

Genesis 6:4  There were giants (Mutations from Angels with women) in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Genesis 6:5  And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Man was evil. Woman was evil. Their thoughts and their imaginations were always only evil. Never towards God, but towards evil.

They were serving the creature, rather than the creator.

Genesis 6:6  And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

Genesis 6:7  And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; bothman, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

Genesis 6:12  And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 
Here in vs 12 we see that the natural order of "all flesh" had been tweaked and someone had corrupted all of God's way of things to work on the earth.

Now why don't we look at what the Lord says about the time before the flood. Really interresting when you look at how things are in the years from 1999 - 2009. From Matthew we find:

Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating (Rom. 1:21) and drinking (Rom. 1:21), marrying 
(Rom. 1:21) and giving in marriage (Rom. 1:21), until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 

Contrast: eating, drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage with Romans 1:21. Do it one at a time. Can you see a problem
that was going on? Was everything good and honest? Was everything and everyone doing good? Were they giving of thanks to
God? Did they give Him the glory, the honor, and the praise?

Romans 1:21  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 

Now let's see what we can unlock in Luke's writtings, shall we?

Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

Luke 17:27 They did eat (neither were thankful), they drank (neither were thankful), they married wives (neither were thankful), 
they were given in marriage (neither were thankful, and if they did not marry wives, what did they marry? Seperate Distiction here.), 
(Rom. 1:26-27) until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. In the account from Luke,
you can see that "they married wives" in one point, and in another point it is given for us to learn "they were given in marriage". O.T. records married to wives, but also teaches something else. Romans 1:26-27 shows us the answer. In vs 26 we see "their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature". Verse 27 also sheds more light with "And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men. How to stop the Messiah from coming in to flesh to bruise the head of the serpent? Angles with women (NOT NATURAL), women with women (NOT NATURAL), and finally men with men (NOT NATURAL). For all flesh had corrupted God's way of NATURAL ORDER upon the earth.

Flesh was vile. Flesh was vile after the flood. Flesh was vile when Christ was here in His earthly ministry. Flesh was vile after He was crucified and buried, and ressurected for our justification. Flesh was vile in Paul's time. and our flesh now? It is still vile. 


Key: VILE


Philippians 3:21  Who shall change our (the Memebers of the Body of Christ) vile body (all our fleshly bodies), that it (all our fleshly bodies) may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Romans 1:26  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Isaiah 32:6  For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.


"Vile"

Definition: morally low, despicable, cowardly, mean, cheap, worthless, repulsive, contemptible, degraded, foul, wicked, depraved, disgusting, inferior, evil, sinful(full of sin), and offensive.

Note: Because of the sin of Adam, sin fell upon all men, a curse. Do you know the difference between "curse"
and "cure"? There is one letter difference. That letter is the letter "S". And that letter is for "SIN". So if there 
was no sin, there would be no curse. The cure is Christ, and him crucified. Behold that Lamb of God that
taketh away the sins of the world (all of them in the whole world). The cure is to take away the "S".
When you take away "S" there is no "S". CurSe - S = Cure.

Romans 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your (the Memebers of the Body of Christ) flesh: for as ye 
(the Memebers of the Body of Christ) have (Times Past) yielded your (the Memebers of the Body of Christ) members (Your Vile Bodies) 
servants to uncleanness (Lust, Desire, and Sin) and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your (the Memebers of the Body of Christ) 
members (Your Vile Bodies) servants to righteousness unto holiness.



Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye (the Memebers of the Body of Christ) are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 




Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye (the Memebers of the Body of Christ) are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.



Colossians 2:13 And you (the Memebers of the Body of Christ), being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your (the Memebers of the Body of Christ) flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you (the Memebers of the Body of Christ) all trespasses; 

All of our sins were nailed to the cross at Calvary, and as Christ died at Calvary, so did our sins. They are not counted against us any
longer, well in the sight of God. The acts of the flesh remain, but the payment for them was paid at Calvary by Christ. It is Finished!

Romans 6:1 What shall we (the Memebers of the Body of Christ) say then? Shall we (the Memebers of the Body of Christ) continue in sin, that grace may abound?



Romans 6:2 God forbid. How shall we (the Memebers of the Body of Christ), that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Our sins are dead. So we can live unto God, free from the bondage of sin. Christ was the cure for the curse. The Lamb of God who
taketh away the sins of the world. Religion will go the other way with this, but all the sins of the world were paid for. People only go
to Hell now for refusing to believe on Jesus Christ, and the terms of Paul's Gospel in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. So your sins will not take
you to Hell, refusing Christ will send you straight there! If you have followed anything other than Believing on the Lord Jesus Christ,
You are NOT saved! Why risk it? Why open your eyes in Hell and torments? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and Thou (singular)
shalt be saved.

Hell is so little preached today that most people in the world do not believe it is a real place, nor do they believe that they will ever go there. The climate of modern Christianity is one of the main reasons why this book is so important. How is it that we have come to a place in our society when large numbers of people in the church don't believe in a literal hell? Today's pastors build large megachurches by denying the most fundamental aspects of the faith like the doctrine of hell, appealing to the itching ears of their congregations. Thomas Doolittle has answers for our modern heretics in Rebukes for Sin by the Flames of Hell. Doolittle begins by answering a series of nine of the most common questions that people ask about hell, included are: Will God punish sinners after this life? Is there such a place as hell and such a thing as hellfire? Why has God appointed such a place? Who are they that shall be burned in this fire? Will the greatest part of men burn in this fire? Will there be degrees of pain and torment in this fire? Then he deals with issues like the names used for hell in the Bible, the extremity of the pains of the damned, the eternal unending nature of the torments in hell, the differences between fire on earth and fire in hell, and the characters of those who will be burned in hell. All the while Doolittle asks probing and penetrating questions of the reader to get him to evaluate his own condition, and uses striking imagery to terrify the ungodly. 



“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without
which no man shall see the Lord.”
 
Hebrews 12:14 


The regenerate man is a holy man. He endeavors . . .
to live according to God’s will,
to do the things that please God,
to avoid the things that God hates.

His aim and desire is to love God with heart and soul, and
mind and strength–and to love his neighbor as himself.
His wish is to be continually looking to Christ as his Example
as well as his Savior; and to show himself Christ’s friend, by
obeying whatever He commands.

No doubt he is not perfect. None will tell you that sooner
than himself. He groans under the burden of indwelling
corruption cleaving to him. He finds an evil principle within
him constantly warring against grace, and trying to draw
him away from God. Yet, in spite of all short-comings,
the average bent and bias of . . .
his ways is holy;
his doings holy;
his tastes holy
and his habits holy.

In spite of all his swerving and turning aside, like a ship
going against a contrary wind, the general course of his
life is in one direction–toward God and for God. He will
generally be able to say, with old John Newton, “I am not
what I ought to be. I am not what I want to be. I am not
what I hope to be in another world. But still, I am not what
I once used to be! By the grace of God, I am what I am!”
