- Background
- The phrase, “whole heart” stood out to me during my morning quiet time. With the same phrase being a key component to the podcast’s mission statement, I thought it appropriate to explore this phrase further.
- Probably the most famous use of this phrase is in Matthew 22:37, Mark 12:30, or Luke 10:27 where Jesus reiterates Deuteronomy 6:5 when asked which is the greatest commandment of the Law.
- “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.”
- Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.”
- Isaiah 38:3 “Please, O LORD, remember how I have walked before you in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in your sight.”
- Translation
- Hebrew - Shalem
- Proverbs 11:1 “A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but a just weight is his delight.”
- This isn’t just saying a broken balance...but rather a deceitful one!
- 2 Chronicles 25:2 “And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, yet not with a whole heart.”
- Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’”
