Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
The word "heart", in English, has a wide variety of applications. This is true of both the use of the word in Hebrew and Greek as well, so it behooves us to consider what is being talked about when we come across it in our study. We were made in the image of God, and the Bible reveals God has both a spirit, and a heart. He is involved in influencing both in mankind. Often, the words heart and spirit are used in the same scripture, and as such, give us a window of understanding of the two. What is the purpose of each?

Ephesians 1:13-14 NLT
And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the good news that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, He (God) identified you as His own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom He promised long ago.
The spirit is God's guarantee that He will give us the inheritance He promised and that He has purchased us to be His own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify Him.
