Luke 6:45 (King James Version)

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

V. THESIS:

Praise, worship, glorify, adore, bless, honor, acknowledge and thank You very much LORD JESUS for I believe GOD raised You from the dead, and that You are my LORD and SAVIOR and You confirmed that I am saved and have eternal life here on earth.

Romans 10:9-10 (Amplified Bible)

Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.

VIII. MAIN BODY:

Luke 6:45 (Amplified Bible)

The upright (honorable, intrinsically good) man out of the good treasure [stored] in his heart produces what is upright (honorable and intrinsically good), and the evil man out of the evil storehouse brings forth that which is depraved (wicked and intrinsically evil); for out of the abundance (overflow) of the heart his mouth speaks.

Luke 6:45 (King James Version)

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

A. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good.

"The upright (honorable, intrinsically good) man out of the good treasure [stored] in his heart produces what is upright (honorable and intrinsically good),"

Let's talk about the good man not the evil man, but just read GOD's WORDS regarding His thoughts on the evil man, but not worthy to discuss.

So if there's a good man, there's also an evil man, if there's a good treasure, there's also an evil treasure.

A good man has the following characteristics according to GOD'S WORDS:

1. The mouth of the good man utters wisdom, his tongue speaks with justice. The WORDS OF GOD are in his heart.

Psalms 37:30-31 (Amplified Bible)

The mouth of the [uncompromisingly] righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks with justice.

The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

Our example is King David who confirmed this and showed us his heart, his heart is delighting in GOD'S will, the Law of GOD in his heart, he utters glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly, he proclaims GOD's WORDS - GOD's Faithfulness and Salvation for His people.

Psalms 40:8-10 (Amplified Bible)

I delight to do Your will, O my God; yes, Your law is within my heart.

I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly [tidings of uprightness and right standing with God]. Behold, I have not restrained my lips, as You know, O Lord.

I have not concealed Your righteousness within my heart; I have proclaimed Your faithfulness and Your salvation. I have not hid away Your steadfast love and Your truth from the great assembly.

Proverbs 10:20-21 (Amplified Bible)

The tongues of those who are upright and in right standing with God are as choice silver; the minds of those who are wicked and out of harmony with God are of little value.

The lips of the [uncompromisingly] righteous feed and guide many, but fools die for want of understanding and heart.

Proverbs 22:17-18 (Amplified Bible)

Listen (consent and submit) to the words of the wise, and apply your mind to my knowledge;
