If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.   Romans 10:9

The Bible speaks of the heart as the wellspring of life. Hence, it is used synonymously with “life.” When the Bible says, “Son, give me thine heart,” it doesn’t mean that we are to cut out our actual hearts and give them to God. It means that we are to give Him our lives, our all. When we come to Christ, we are not only to give intellectual assent with our minds, we are to “believe in our hearts.” We can believe in the historic Jesus, but if we have “saving faith” our belief must involve our whole being. When we believe with all our hearts, the will, the emotions, and the intellect are surrendered to Christ.

Lord, I believe and rejoice in the knowledge that You are alive and my Redeemer! Those days that I fail in this sinful world, I pray your Holy Spirit rattles my soul that I turn back to You and Your kingdom, that thy will be scene in all I say and do. In Christ’s name I pray. Amen.
