Bible Study Discussions with Gary Panell

Question: What are some specific biblical examples of an unsaved heart?

Answer: There are many in the Old Testament and New Testament of the Bible. An unsaved heart is one that does not believe that Jesus is Messiah God. Or in other words, one who believes Jesus is an imposter rather than truly the Son of God. Peter and John had healed a lame man but this didn't make the people with unsaved hearts very happy, so they had them arrested:

"Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening. However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand. And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes, as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, 'By what power or by what name have you done this? Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, 'Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: 'If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone. Nor is there salvation in any other for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:1-12)

In this passage and many more in Acts you will see the difference between the saved and the unsaved. Those being saved are those who believe in Christ and His message, those that have an unsaved heart or unbelieving heart are the ones who reject the message. The Good News or Gospel is that Jesus died and rose again, and that we can have salvation thru His name, and His name alone. This is not a popular message, but it is the truth. If you have not accepted Jesus into your heart and life, He wants to save you now. Just pray, "God be merciful to me a sinner, I believe that Your Son Jesus Christ can save me. Right now I invite Him to come into my life and take away my sin, and make me a child of God, in Jesus name I pray amen."

God bless you and thanks for the question,
