Heart
Ezekiel 36:26 ESV
And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
Spiritually, our hearts are naturally made of stone. By default, we’re spiritually dead. We need God to do a spiritual heart transplant upon us.
God is able to put his Holy Spirit within us. Where once we were dead men walking, when we trust in Jesus we can enjoy eternal life from when we first believe. Not even physical death can separate us from his love.
Note that we can’t do anything for ourselves spiritually. Someone with a heart of stone can’t rip it out himself and replace it with a heart of flesh. We need God to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves.
Ezekiel was looking forward to the new covenant age that we’re in now. By faith in Jesus we can prove the truth of this verse. He has died and risen for us and poured out his Spirit.
‘Sovereign Lord, please make us alive in you. May we call others to repentance and faith in you too. For the glory of Jesus we pray, amen’.
