Can Christians Have Wicked Hearts? [The TRUTH Revealed!]

In this Bible study video, David Reid from Columbus Bible Church examines the condition of a Christian's heart after salvation. He argues from Scripture that while a believer's heart can be made pure through spiritual discipline, it does not automatically become pure at the moment of salvation. He explores questions around whether Old Testament verses about the human heart like Jeremiah 17:9 still apply today, and concludes they do based on verses in Romans and Genesis. The speaker then aims to demonstrate from multiple verses, especially in Paul's letters, that a saved person must still struggle against their flesh and take every thought captive. He asserts this is evidence believer's hearts remain deceitful even after receiving the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The goal for Christians should be spiritual renewal through capturing each thought and bringing it into obedience to Christ.
