The Bible states that the human heart is deceitful and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9), highlighting its profound need for redemption.
Scripture teaches about the human heart's nature, emphasizing its deceitfulness and wickedness. In Jeremiah 17:9, it is proclaimed that the heart is 'deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked.' This reveals the depths of sinfulness and inconsistency that dwell within even the regenerate, showcasing the necessity for divine grace in transforming and renewing the heart. The Lord alone knows the depths of our hearts and our propensity towards inconsistency, which should lead us to humbly depend on His grace and truth for genuine change.
