The matter

Can the heart write, does the spirit show proof of life everlasting? Reflection upon the components and ideas of living, the methods of navigating associative challenges or evading/withstanding the tides tugging or threatening sure footing. Are simply testimony, opinion and perhaps an egoistic/selfless attempt to asserts one’s own life as model for achievement or failure in that navigation. What then is the evidence of Spirit’s transformation and indwelling seal?

Well, first; the bite of conviction and call to change. Absent the elucidating bile of personal defect or misstep people continue in the path which best suits their safety, security and desirous fulfillment. Simply said, if a man hears not a rebuke whether internal or outside there remains no cost for poor, inconsistent or self-serving behaviors. This is the least understood majesty of God’s Plan for Mankind’s reconciliation and restitution. This is often too simple for the wise to gather.

For example; without a lawful speed limit, a sign indicating the mandated limit by law in a section of road and a meter of a driver’s current speed, a driver may remain oblivious to excessive speed. Therefore, there must first be law. Then a knowledge of that law. And finally an indication that each of us have transgressed that law. And finally, an internal decision or external prompting in decision to either obey resulting in an observance and performance within the law or a departure from the obedient call to continue in lawlessness. This is the purpose of the TEN COMMANDMENTS, given unto the Jewish people to reveal to the World the need for Messiah’s step into humanity.

From this historical moment forward, man could no longer remain oblivious, except in instances where the education to the law is absent or in blatant decision to disregard it and follow one’s own will. Additionally, the Gospel message makes clear in both Romans 1 and Ephesians 1 that the spirit reflects the removal of excuse as all men know this truth of God and the belief in this truth is invitation to the seal of His Holy Spirit for everlasting life. In this simple revelation of a Sovereign set of Laws and that no man may offer excuse to God for breaking them we find the Call of God set into the heart of all men. Finally, in the realization of an eventual accounting by God to Judgment in Jesus Christ leaves men with the dilemma or freedom to choose their eternity.

So, to the original question; Can the heart write? Well, not in the literal sense of words but we would be remiss in wisdom’s challenge by misunderstanding the greatest evidence of man’s life is the story written by his decisions, choices and his effectual wake. The heart is clearly seen in my daily choices, my transformation and my repeated call to change, remain the same or regress in the obvious path of human growth. Our hearts though not some mystical bundle of right and wrong emotional acuity, are attributed or representative of that man without excuse God tells us each of us has become. Finally, a contortion of heart and judgment occurs when men decide to neglect this miraculous inclusion in His plan of redemption.

As men we may either write the story of our hearts in agreement with Sovereign intention or blind ourselves in ignorance to the weight of our departure. The heart does write, not in allegory or eloquent oration, rather in a greater reflection of a life lived in promise or neglect. I am not finished in this life as testament will be observed in my passage beyond the boundaries of this dimension. However, I am aware that there is a story being documented in my walk through it. My life became everlasting the moment I accepted the marvelous mystery revealed in the law and release from it by Christ. Yes, I may choose to exceed the parameters of God’s Law in disobedience, but the call upon my heart and mind to remain in agreement is the greatest evidence of my acceptance or denial of the choice I made and continue within daily. The pain I feel when departing from God’s Law is a wonderful thing.
