Chapter 12 - Guarding Your Heart

Summary

When you are exposed to the truth about God, the devil will come in to try to steal it away from you. This is why it’s important to know how to guard your heart. Guarding your heart is not about doing anything, it’s about believing something. A temptation we all face is to be led astray from solid doctrine based on what you see in the world. That is walking by sight not by faith. Knowing how this dynamic will work in your life going forward is important to being able to stay in the truth about God.

Ch. 12 Outline - Guarding Your Heart

  • Want to be able to guard our hearts once we have learned the Good News. We do that by continuing to believe in what we’ve learned
  • Prov. 3:5-6 - 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart. And lean not on your own understanding; 6  In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
  • Trust in the Lord with all your heart - boils down to doctrine. Biggest stumbling blocks are ignorance or apathy.
  • Lean not unto your own understanding - don’t walk by sight and what you see in the world impact what you believe.
  • He shall direct your paths - He will make your paths straight. Just stay the course and don’t put the burden on yourself.
  • The work of God as defined in John 6 - to believe
  • The good works James talks about is continuing to believe
  • That’s how we do the work of God. That’s how we guard our hearts
