Whole-Hearted Living In Christ

“The Christian's new spiritual heart is what constitutes a "new creature" "in Christ" (2 Corinthians 5:17). It is essential for the mediation by Christ Jesus of God's New Covenant with His chosen ones. Thus, the Biblical Doctrine of the Heart is foundational to New Testament anthropology and psychology, and is therefore essential to truly Christian counseling, and Bible-based preaching and teaching about salvation, identity in Christ, spiritual relationships, and Christian living. Without the new heart, it would be impossible for the Christian to realize the New Covenant, to obey the Greatest Commandments, and to help fulfill the Great Commission.” —Frank Allnutt

The New Covenant promise of a new heart...“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.”—God (Ezekiel 36:26,27)

The promised “new heart” and all that comes with it is what constitutes a “new creature" "in Christ" (2 Corinthians 5:17)

The promised “new heart” is the dwelling place of the Spirit of Christ (Ephesians 3:14-19)

The promised “new heart” gives a believer Christ-like human nature: “The Bible...makes the heart the soul center and the spirit center as well.”—Oswald Chambers

“The heart...embraces the whole inner man.”—Girdlestone’s Synonyms of the Old Testament

The promised “new spirit” gives a believer Christ-like disposition: “For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7).

The new hearted Christian is enabled and motivated to obey God’s Greatest Commandments... “And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. [And] You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”—Jesus (Mark 12:30)
