The Lord God, Yahweh knows what everyone is thinking all the time. Nothing that can or cannot be done will stop this truth. He knows my thoughts and from where they spring.
The Lord Jesus has emotions and values. He detests or finds pleasure in a person’s thoughts. Pleasure and despise are considered two of the core dimensions of emotion. Emotions, and how they’re expressed, are tied deeply to personality.
Why does it matter if God, the creator and owner of the universe knows my thoughts and can either find pleasure in or detest my thoughts. Because he will either draw me closer to him or send me farther away. “Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God his Savior.” (Psalm 24:3-5)
So my thoughts are mine and mine alone. They are not anyone else’s. Therefore, the consequences are mine alone. Do not be fooled by the pride of religion. I am accountable for all the thoughts in my head.
