Our actions will flow out of our hearts. We can only hide our heart so long and eventually it flows out through our attitudes,mouths and actions.
You can't hide from God, but you also can't hide forever from those who have discernment.
Your flesh will come piling out like a flood overflowing the banks of a river when our flesh becomes weakened as we grow older and too tired to bother hiding anymore.
Matthew 15:19 ""For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders."
If we think we are not guilty of murder, perhaps we ought to ask the Lord if there is any attitude of hatred in our hearts. God said that if we hate someone we are guilty of murder.
1 John 3:15 "Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him."
We do not have to "do" evil openly to someone to express hatred or contempt. All we have to do is have it in our hearts and it will spill over into mean words, withholding of affection, demeaning of character and other very covert means of killing them off.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 "4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,
5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,
6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away."
