Mark 7:20
Compare all
18 So He said to them, a“Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him,  
19 because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated,1 thus purifying all foods?”  
20 And He said, a“What comes out of a man, that defiles a man.  
21 aFor from within, out of the heart of men, bproceed evil thoughts, cadulteries, dfornications, murders,  
22 thefts, acovetousness, wickedness, bdeceit, clewdness, an evil eye, dblasphemy, epride, foolishness.  
23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”

Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Mark 7:20:

Mark 7:19-23

Take notice of that. "Enters the heart." Do you suppose that the works that we are to do have something to do with the heart? The mind, that which drives us, that which motivates us, that which inspires us, that which moves us, that which gives us our point of view.

There is a very powerful, straightforward indication that the works that Jesus is looking for involve the things appearing in verses 20-22. Those things having to do with the heart.
