Keeping the heart!! This is a heart prior to dissection to see more of its structure in a nursery class! It is obvious that we cannot preserve the life of our bodies for one single moment; yet we are expected to keep ourselves from those things which would destroy life, and use all proper means of preserving it, so neither can we, of ourselves, preserve the life of our souls. Yet are we bound to “keep our heart with all diligence, since out of it are the issues of life”. It is indeed supported here, that a new heart has been given to us; because from the unregenerated heart no good things can issue. But inasmuch as even the renewed heart has still innumerable corruptions within it, we must keep it with all diligence. Written by Charles Simeon Photo by @am1e.sa
