~~~ Above everything guard your heart ! - Why? ~~~
.
Proverbs 4: 23
Above everything else guard your heart,
because from it flow the springs of life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mark 7 :
18. And He said to them, “Are you also as lacking in understanding?
Don’t you realize that nothing going into a man from the outside can defile him?
19. For it doesn’t go into his heart but into the stomach and is eliminated.” (As a result, He made all foods clean.)
20. Then He said, “What comes out of a person—that defiles him.
21. For from within, out of people’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immoralities, thefts, murders,
22. adulteries, greed, evil actions, deceit, promiscuity, stinginess, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
23. All these evil things come from within and defile a person.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 Thessalonians 4 :
2. For you know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
3. For this is God’s will, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality,
4. so that each of you knows how to control his own body in sanctification and honor,
5. not with lustful desires, like the Gentiles who don’t know God.
6. This means one must not transgress against and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger of all these offenses, as we also previously told and warned you.
7. For God has not called us to impurity but to sanctification.
8. Therefore, the person who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who also gives you His Holy Spirit.

Hebrews 10 :
26. For if we sin deliberately
>>> after receiving the knowledge of the truth,
>>> there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27. but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hebrews 3: 12
Watch out, brothers, so that there won’t be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart that departs from the living God.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
James 1: 21
Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and evil,
>>> humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save you.
