God created us with a heart so we could have a loving relationship with Him. If we didn’t have a heart, we couldn’t sense love or love in return. “And you shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart.” Now let’s look at two reasons why the function of our heart is so important.

In addition to sensing the wide range of human emotions, our heart thinks, decides, and perceives right from wrong. The verses above show us that our heart does much more than we might have thought. Since our conscience blames, or condemns, us when we’ve done something wrong, this verse also makes it very clear that our conscience is part of our heart. This is further confirmed by the phrase “if our heart blames us” in 1 John 3:20. Having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience indicates that our conscience is also part of our heart.

“Let us come forward to the Holy of Holies with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.” This shows us that our emotion is also part of our heart. Rejoicing is related to our emotions, but here we see that our heart rejoices. “Therefore you also now have sorrow but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and no one takes your joy away from you.” So this verse shows that our will is part of our heart. To purpose is to decide strongly to do something, which is an exercise of our will. “Who, when he arrived and saw the grace of God, rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain with the Lord with purpose of heart.” This shows that our mind is part of our heart. Thinking is an activity of the mind, but the Lord Jesus asked the scribes why they were thinking in their hearts. “And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, Why are you thinking evil things in your hearts?” Let’s take a look at some key verses that reveal this.

Instead, our heart is a composition of all three components of our soul-our mind, emotion, and will-plus the most important part of our spirit-our conscience. The Word of God shows us that our heart isn’t a fourth, separate part of our being. In a previous post we discussed how God created us with three parts: spirit, soul, and body.
