PURE HEARTS WIN IN SWAHILI FREE
Look at the Pharaoh and his refusal to free the Israelites from slavery. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise" (1 Corinthians 3:18). In order to not be deceived, we must submit to God so that we may become wise: "Let no one deceive himself. Having a hard heart makes it incredibly difficult to obey Christ it means we are susceptible to deception (James 1:14–17). This can lead to a multitude of issues, perhaps the biggest root problem being that our hearts can become hardened to the Lord and His leading. If we do not guard our hearts, they are exposed to any bad outside influence, thought, or force that comes their way. We seek out relationships that are mutually edifying and that encourage us to press on in faith (Proverbs 27:17 Hebrews 10:24–25). We also guard our hearts by being selective about who we spend our time with (1 Corinthians 15:33). Guarding our hearts also includes taking ungodly thoughts captive before they have a chance to lodge themselves into our hearts and ultimately our actions (2 Corinthians 10:3–5). Grounding ourselves in God's truth and close relationship with Him is how our hearts remain steadfast. Guarding our hearts helps us abide in Jesus, and abiding in Him helps us guard our hearts (John 15:1–11).Ī primary way in which we guard our hearts is studying God's Word and maintaining fellowship with Him through prayer and worship. True life is found only in Jesus (John 10:10). Our goal should be to guard our hearts so that they may be fully submitted to the Lord. If we make a point to guard our hearts, we will naturally live more wisely. When we guard our hearts, we are guarding our lives-our beliefs, attitudes, thoughts, and actions included.
Proverbs 4:23 says: "Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life." Our hearts serve as the gatekeepers to our lives.
