What It Means to Love God With "All Your Heart"

Different cultures have different conceptions of the human heart, what it is and what it does, and the biblical authors are no exception. In this video, we'll explore the ancient Hebrew words for "heart" as well as the different ideas of what our hearts represent. There is no biblical word that captures better the essence of human thought, feeling, and desire than this rich and wonderful word.

What needs to be comprehended, a Human being is born with two hearts, the one for the body and the one that is Spiritual, as the body NEEDS this heart of flesh to thrive in life so too the Spiritual heart, in fact wisdom dictates the Spiritual heart is more vital, as it says in Proverbs- a man may overcome a broken body but a crushed Spirit who can bare.

You guys are great... A year ago I tried reading the Bible not knowing anything about it. With your help I have read most of the Bible, within a year. My life is a billion times better now that I have Jesus in my heart. God bless you all for your work. Grace and peace

[@peej9805]

Danny Barbosa, May I humbly say: Awesome! I heard someone once say "The Word Of God is like Water: It is deep enough that the most experienced Bible researcher/theologian can dive into it for a lifetime, and never touch the bottom, yet it is shallow enough that even baby Christians can swim without the fear of drowning. Keep diving in the pool of His Love, and every day you will learn something new, even if its what not to do. (Which is equally important, haha)

[@user-in2dy6zy8j]

Thanks lennie. Its just hard. 26 years old, got no job. Thinking of school. But still need work. Father is a working ,check cashing, drunken man. Mother never deserves this. I fear i'll lose more focusing on a better life. I know it is better to be obedient than to sacrifice but lately i prefer to be killed for my mother to have a better life. Times i feel like this world will never understand Love. Why labor if it doesn't let u show love. Why live in a world thats filled with dark ignorance. I trust u will pray for me.

Dear good Lord, the way the two commandment tablets combined and formed a "Heart" at 3:10 , it totally deserves a heavenly round of applause for creativity. 👏✝️💐. The entire team of The Bible Project is filled with the Holy Spirit to gift us with all these videos. Thank you so so very much in bringing us closer to the "Levav" of our Heavenly Father. Blessed be you all. Have a fantastic life and kindly keep helping us in upgrading our armour of Faith in Jesus Christ, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Eirene 🙏

You guys are great, and a blessing to many. You help a lot of people understand the Glory of God. God Bless.

[@kaeljadondavis2779]

I find it very interesting that no matter where in the times, God is able to communicate what He wants people to hear in ways they will understand... and then when we expand on our knowledge of His world, the Spirit will also start speaking through people in ways that account for the new things that we now know. It's like a parent expanding their vocabulary to teach their child as they grow up! Even more interesting to me is that when you have a look at where these trains of thought begin (the language that the ancient Hebrews understood God's word in -> the way we have it today), it renews the concepts we have today in stunning ways. God's word is a timeless masterwork!

[@nrrbull]

The heart is the first thing to form in the womb when the baby is growing, it is the softest tissue, where all the hardest tissue comes out of, your entire bone structure comes out of your heart.

[@justrain4791]

thank you for being a blessing to many ❤ God bless your hearts

[@deannakay6607]

Interesting. So the heart in Hebrew is "the mind, will, and emotions" - which is what we had been taught is the soul. While the soul in Hebrew (as explained in the "Soul" video) is one's being/existence. Fascinating!

[@valeriegonzalez4316]

I found your channel a few weeks ago and I look forward to watching a new video everyday during my closet time with God. Thanks for your diligence and hard work in creating all this awesome content. I pray God keeps inspiring you. ❤️👍🏼

Amen to that! Ezekiel 36:26, John 3:3 Ye must be born again! We desperately need a new heart, otherwise nobody can please God!

[@user-nb3gu8qw7p]

You are doing quite a generous thing to explain such things to the public. I wish you make such a video on being "stiff-necked".

[@amandadangerfieldpiano]

Thank you for an uplifting and wonderful video! I love the Bible verses about our heart. I also have been pondering this, as I composed a piano solo 3 years ago (released December 2021) called "Each Heart" about the joy that every living thing will feel when the Savior reigns on the earth for 1,000 years.

[@user-bs9jw4qe6p]

Absolutely wonderful-- such valuable and well presented insights. Thank you!

[@ddeaae]

When I taught in Bible College many years ago I use to teach this very thing and once my students would apply it to everything they did it was like a ," Light Bulb" moment. Thoughts-> Motivate-> Behavior in all the things we do. Outside of learning about God's Devine Love & Mery & Grace which leads to Salvation. I personally learned those very steps so when I have stepped into the wrong direction I try to stop and examine and I apply these same principles I taught. How wonderful and kind our Heavenly Father is & Love / Mercy are endless.

We believe that study IS an act of worship from the heart. This is pivotal in understanding the Hebrew heart. Explains too, why I am such a geek, lol. Intellectual study and debate is an Action of our heart, offered up to G-d. I am a Jewish believer in Yeshua. Thank you for elucidating the Sh'ma!

My grandma has been hurting for a few years now and was scheduled to have surgery in July. The doctor had to go on vacation though, and it had to be rescheduled to a few weeks ago. Again, there was a problem and they had to reschedule again for last week. This time she had the surgery and she has been recovering fast. The whole time, she kept her faith and God blessed her with this fast recovery. I know it doesn't really relate to the vid, but I figured I'd just share this personal testimony :).

TheLocal You, my friend, are probably a Western European but us here in Eastern Europe greatly treasure our Christian legacy and hence we'll be the only ones to carry on the flag once Muslims take over your lands. When that happens, you'll be taking refuge over here.

We will fight, trust me we're growing in numbers and we will defend what it is ours. May God be with us.

[@brandon6348]

They knew what the mind is... there was no confusion there. we are the ones confused about the heart.

[@robertjaegers5238]

Heart could mean "center" or "core" for our language. I imagine they used it the same way. The core of our brain is where our motor controls are so that fits in there with strength and soul.

[@Fitandover40]

That's right on point! Heart = Mind = Man

My heart was literally beating more as I watched this video...Great video))...Our love for God is now a fruit of our recreated spirit and heart; understanding how much he loves us by giving us his son.

[@estipegasin9736]

you should also do a video on the word "one" in this vers! In Hebrew this is a very unic word - אחד (Ehad). In the bible we have other words that can be translated as "one": יחיד (Yahid) for example. But while "yahid" means "single", "Ehad" can also mean one thing comprised of few. More like "unifid" than "single". For example the bible uses Ehad to say "Adam and eve became one (ehad) flesh. United "one" comprized of 2 separate entities! And it has a huge impact on the understanding of the concept of trinity in the old testament! When the vers say hear ho Israel..the Lord is one, it reveals God's nature. One, but not single. Ehad, but not Yahid! And that an idea the Jewish people today are not willing to accept. And the reason why many reject Christianity. Because "you believe in 3 Gods when the bible says the Lord is one." One, but not single, Ehad, but not Yahid! p.s, love your videos so very much. Greeting from Israel!

[@nonyabidness5708]
