The Heart of Man

Intellect:

  1. Thinks-Genesis 6:5
  2. Believes-Romans 10:10
  3. Understands-Matthew 13:15
Converted by faith-Romans 10:17, Romans 1:16, Acts 15:9

Affection
  1. Desires-Romans 10:1-3
  2. Loves-Mark 12:30
  3. Trusts-Proverbs 3:5
Converted by repentance- John 14:15, James 4:8, II Corinthians 7:10

Wills
  1. Intends-Hebrews 4:12
  2. Purposes-II Corinthians 9:7
  3. Obeys-Romans 6:16-18
Converted by baptism-Romans 6:17-18, Romans 6:1-5, I Peter 1:22

All the parts of the heart are involved in the conversion process. Becoming a Christian isn't what you do because it FEELS like something you're supposed to do or based simply on emotion. Becoming a Christian is a change of heart. A change of the WHOLE heart. Through hearing the word, repenting of sin, and being baptized for the remission of those sins. Don't listen to the world and think that being a believer in God and His Word is unintelligent. That is simply not true.
