Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Mark 7:23:
Mark 7:20-23
Excerpted from: Azazel: EndingsJesus teaches that our own faculties cause us to sin. The Son of God puts the genesis of sin in each individual's heart - that should be good enough for us. (Matthew 5:29-30; 12:34-35; 15:18-19; 18:8-9; Mark 7:20-23; 9:43-47). James says that temptation would be powerless against us if we were not drawn away by our own desires, which is what gives birth to sin (James 1:14-15). Satan sins when he amplifies those desires through his broadcast, but what we choose to do after listening to him is on us, not on him. God will judge Satan, not because God has ascribed all of mankind's sins to him, but because Satan has sinned.
Mark 7:19-23
Excerpted from: Love and WorksTake 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.
