Mark 7:21-23 New International Version 21 For

[Isaac Samuel Lubwama]

Mark 7:21-23
​

21 For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”

Thank you for sharing this passage from Mark 7:21-23. It is a powerful reminder of where evil thoughts and actions originate. In the World English Bible (WEB), these verses read:

"For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."

This passage underscores the importance of guarding our hearts and minds, as they are the wellspring of our actions and words. It is only through the transformation of our hearts by the Holy Spirit that we can overcome these sinful desires.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, acknowledging that we are all sinners in need of Your grace. We thank You for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, which has made a way for us to be forgiven and redeemed. Lord, help us to guard our hearts and minds, and to be filled with Your Holy Spirit. Give us the strength to resist evil thoughts and actions, and to live lives that honor and glorify You.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Remember, it is only through believing in Jesus Christ that we can be saved and have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"

If you have not already, consider accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Believe in Him and you will be saved. Confess your sins and turn away from them, and you will find forgiveness and new life in Him. If you are already a believer, continue to walk in the light of His love and truth, resisting the temptations that come from within.

Let the words of this passage serve as a reminder to continually seek God's face and His righteousness. Be encouraged by the promise in 1 Corinthians 10:13 (WEB), "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."

Stand firm in your faith, and trust in the power of God to deliver you from every evil.

We've been reflecting on Mark 7:21-23 and it's a real eye-opener, isn't it? It's like looking into a mirror that shows us not just what's on the outside, but what's going on deep within our hearts. It's a reminder that the battles we face aren't just out there in the world, but also right here, in our own thoughts and desires.

We've been praying together, asking God to help us guard our hearts and minds. It's a daily thing, isn't it? A constant choice to align our thoughts with His will. We've been asking Him to fill us with His Holy Spirit, to give us the strength to resist evil thoughts and actions, and to live lives that honor Him.

We've also been reminded that it's only through believing in Jesus Christ that we can be saved and have access to God. If you haven't already, we encourage you to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Believe in Him, confess your sins, and turn away from them. If you're already a believer, keep walking in the light of His love and truth, resisting the temptations that come from within.

Let's keep seeking God's face and His righteousness, encouraged by the promise that God is faithful and will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear. Let's stand firm in our faith, trusting in the power of God to deliver us from every evil.

Let's keep praying for each other, supporting each other in this journey of faith. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
