The Nature of Faith, Lecture 1. Hill speaks on the relationship between faith and the intellect. Popular thought divides the soul into intellect, will, and emotions. For many, the biblical “heart” is identified with a particular part of this tripartite division of the soul, often being linked with the emotions. However, emotions only capture part of its meaning. The heart is described in Genesis 6:5; 8:21, Psalm 14:1, and Isaiah 6:10 as the place of intentions, belief, and understanding. Jesus likewise speaks of the heart as involving intentions and thought in Matthew 6:21 and 9:4. A biblical understanding depicts the heart as the center and whole of the person; it cannot be reduced to a single faculty identified by popular psychology and belief. Belief and faith involve a cognitive element within the believer. The Bible also makes a careful distinction between the lips and the heart, as in Matthew 15:8–9.
