This is commonly spoken of as the seat of the affections, but is not generally so used in Scripture. To use it solely with this meaning would lead to serious error. In the Bible it means the man himself, the inner and true person, as distinct from the outward and, it may be, false person. The heart is thus contrasted with the lip. It is the seat of the whole of man’s moral being. “Believing with the heart” does not mean with the affections, neither does it mean with the intellect (or head) only, but it means the man himself believing.
