The Table of the Heart

Jeremiah 17:1 KJV
The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;

Jeremiah has three things to say about the heart:
Our sins are graven there
Vs 1
Our heart deceives us
Vs 9
Our God searches the heart
Vs 10

It is in the heart where our faith needs to find its home. A religion that affects the outer man without making a change to the inner has fallen short of saving faith. It is the heart,
  • Our affections
  • Our delights
  • Our aims and
  • Our purposes
that the gospel must reach.
