Keep Your Heart: The Core of Your Being

Our heart, not just a blood pump, guides our emotions and is crucial for our religion and life. It comprises reason, affection, memory, and conscience. We must diligently guard it as it influences our entire being. Training our conscience and nurturing our whole being with the right memories are key. Jesus highlighted the importance of our heart as the source of life's issues. To keep our hearts, Christians must confess and repent, while non-Christians should hear, believe, repent, confess, and be baptized. Understanding this ensures that we are responsible for safeguarding our hearts.
