A sheep in wolf's clothing.
Genesis 1:24-31
Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You.
(Psalms 51:13) NKJV
When we give the desire to know God preeminence in our life our heart will be purified. We believe in Jesus Christ and get saved, but that’s only the beginning. Continually seeking the Lord as an ongoing imperative purifies our heart. Then the pure in heart will see the Lord. The more of the Lord that we seek, then the more of the Lord we will know.

I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.
(Jeremiah 17:10) NKJV
Preparing our hearts doesn’t involve special diets or exercise, it comes down to taking two simple steps: believing in Jesus Christ, and confessing our sins. The sanctification we receive from faith in Jesus makes us a holy vessel in which the Holy Spirit takes up residence. We’re indwelt by the Spirit of God.

(Matthew 5:8) NKJV

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.
(Matthew 15:19) NKJV
Jesus was asked why he didn’t stop his disciples from eating before they had washed their hands. He was very direct in pointing out that we’re not defiled by what we put into our mouths, even if our hands are dirty. We’re defiled by what comes out of our mouths, and that starts in the corruption of our heart.

The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?
(Jeremiah 17:9) NKJV
Heart condition may be substantially more complicated than whether we smoke, our cholesterol levels, or any of the related medical factors which are involved. It would appear that the condition of our heart is directly related to condition of our relationship with God.

And that very hour He cured many of infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight.
(Luke 7:21) NKJV
We can be possessed by evil spirits. We’ve deduced that spirits are vapor, so it’s simply a matter of breathing it in.
And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God, rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.
(John 13:2-4) NKJV
The soul is one aspect of life. The Spirit is another.

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
(Ephesians 2:8-10) NKJV
Whatever you choose to believe about science is beside the point. There’s only two requirements for you to be saved and have everlasting life.
The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) New King James Version
We’re in what the New Testament describes as the age of grace, the church age, or the end times. The truth about God the creator is still evident but Satan, the lawless one, has placed a strong delusion in front of everyone which is intended to cause people to reject the truth about God, and their salvation.

Then they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; and whoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
(2 Chronicles 15:12) NKJV
What happens when people don’t seek the Lord? In the Old Testament times of the children of Israel they would be put to death. In our modern age there’s nothing like that. You’re free to believe whatever you want.
