Bible Reading: 1 Peter 1:18-21 “knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. ²⁰ He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world but was ^[manifest in these last times for you ²¹ who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.”

Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 15: 54-57 “So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” ⁵⁵ “O Death, where is your sting?

Scripture Reading: Romans 12:1-2 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your ^[reasonable service. ² And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

Text: Proverbs 4:23

Over the past few weeks, we’ve talked about Jesus being a Prophet like no other, a priest like no other, and a king like no other. This led us into talking about the Kingdom of God/Heaven being a kingdom like no other.

The Kingdom of God/Heaven is in our heart, which makes our heart a throne like no other.

The Bible uses the word “heart” primarily to refer to the ruling center of the whole person, the spring of all desires. The heart is seen as the seat of the will, intellect, and feelings. … According to the Bible, the heart is the center not only of spiritual activity, but of all the operations of human life.

1–Solomon gives additional warnings to his son about his heart.

          Proverbs 3:5-6; Proverbs 14:12; Proverbs 16:25

2—Jeremiah warns us not to trust our own heart.

          Jeremiah 17:9

3—David asked God to search his heart.

          Psalm 139:23-24

4—Jesus taught about our hearts.

          Mark 7:20-23

5—We are the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit.

          1 Corinthians 6:19-20

6—Paul challenges us to “put off” the “old man” and “put on” the “new man.”

          Ephesians 4:22-24

Conclusion: When God is on the throne of our lives, our heart.

          Matthew 28:18-20; 2 Corinthians 5:17
