How do we know salvation is a heart work?

Answered in 2 sources

Salvation is a heart work because it involves a genuine conviction and love for God, as demonstrated in Romans 10:10.

Salvation is fundamentally a heart work, as emphasized in Romans 10:10, stating, 'For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness.' This passage reveals the necessity of a heart transformed by God, not just a mind that agrees with truths about God. Only when God's message penetrates the heart can one experience true belief, leading to righteousness. This inward change aligns with the biblical promise that God will give a new heart and spirit (Ezekiel 36:26), indicating a change that affects one’s entire life.

Additionally, the preacher stresses that true belief in Christ results in a heart that loves the Gospel and continuously seeks to know and worship God more deeply. Genuine faith produces a rugged, enduring love that sustains a believer through trials and doubts, demonstrating the persistent need for Christ, who is our righteousness. Thus, the heart's role in salvation emphasizes an intimate relationship with God rather than mere adherence to doctrine.
