THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING TENDERHEARTED (PART 2)

Twice in the New Testament Christians are commanded to "be tenderhearted" (Eph. 4:32; 1 Pet. 3:8). Proverbs tells us, “Above all else, guard your heart” (Prov. 4:23). One book that especially deals with matters of the heart is Jeremiah. In Jeremiah we are shown how God transforms the hard, dirty, defiant, rebellious, deceitful, and wicked hearts of His people. He gives them new hearts and calls form them to continue to cultivate the new and tender hearts in loving service to Him. We also are called to guard our hearts and keep them tender before the Lord!
