The Heart of God — Podcast Summary

What does the Bible mean when it speaks about the heart of God?

In this lesson, we continue our study of the anthropomorphic descriptions Scripture uses to help us understand the character of God. While God is spirit and does not possess a literal human heart, Scripture uses the language of the heart to reveal His affections, desires, purposes, compassion, holiness, and will.

We will explore what Scripture teaches about God's everlasting love, His grief over sin, His compassion toward people, His desire for obedience, and the unchanging nature of His character. We will also see how the heart of God is ultimately revealed through Jesus Christ, who described Himself as "gentle and humble in heart."

The heart of God reminds us that He is not distant or indifferent. He sees, hears, acts, speaks, and—at the center of His perfect character—He loves. His love is never separated from His holiness, His justice, or His truth.

Join us as we consider what it means not merely to know about God's heart, but to love God wholeheartedly, pursue obedience, receive His compassion, and allow His character to shape our own.
