God’s Model of the Heart
In Book One of this series, The Christian’s New Heart, I told the story of Bob Morris, a man who underwent a successful heart transplant. I posed the question, “Wouldn’t it be silly and tragic for a man with a healthy heart to continue living as if he still had his old diseased and damaged heart?” And then I drew an alarming parallel: God has performed a miraculous spiritual heart transplant in each of His children; yet, most do not understand that they have a new heart, and so they continue struggling through life out of the insufficiency of self-sufficiency, missing the blessings of wholehearted living in Christ.

This second book expands our study of God’s Model of the Heart. It takes us deeper into the role of the heart in matters of spiritual relationships, spiritual warfare, concepts of truth and reality, heart functionality, behavior, and life-style.

“Spiritual Heart Examinations”
In this study, we will conduct “Spiritual Heart Examinations” of Adam, Adam-Hearted Man, and Christians, and compile their biblical profiles. These profiles will be helpful in learning God’s doctrine of the heart, in teaching it, and in applying it in the course of discipling and counseling.

As in the first book in the series, this one includes numerous illustrations, diagrams and charts that are helpful in visualizing and comprehending sometimes abstract and complicated biblical concepts. For example, they help us more clearly perceive man from the six biblical perspectives introduced in my first book: the positional, relational, ontological, conditional, functional, and behavioral.

It is my hope and prayer that God will use this study to enrich your life, and that it will be a useful resource to you in teaching, discipling, and counseling others.
