MEN’S HEARTS / MARK 7:20-23

(KJV) Mark 7:20-23

And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. ²¹ For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, ²² Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: ²³ All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

In this passage “makes … ‘unclean’” (Mark 7:20) means being spiritually corrupted in a way that separates a person from the life and purposes of God and ruins his or her relationship with Christ. Throughout God’s Word, the “heart” represents a person’s entire inner being, including the intellect, emotions, motives, desires and will. An impure heart will corrupt one’s thoughts, feelings, words and actions (Proverbs 4:23; Matthew 12:34; 15:19). Those who follow Christ must live in a way that reflects a heart that is new and transformed – different from what is natural in the world – a heart that is becoming more and more like Jesus (Luke 6:45).
