What does the Bible say about the heart problem?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the heart is deceitful and wicked, and the true problem of humanity lies within the heart rather than external actions.

According to Scripture, specifically in Jeremiah 17, the heart is described as deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. This indicates that the core issue in humanity is not merely our actions, but the state of our hearts. Jesus emphasizes this in Matthew 15, where He teaches that it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man, but rather what comes out of the heart. This aligns with the Reformed understanding that our sinful nature is the root cause of our actions, confirming that all human beings suffer from a heart problem, leading to sin.
