How do we know that God controls the opening and shutting of hearts?

Answered in 1 source

The control of God over hearts is emphasized in passages like Revelation 3:7-8, where He holds the keys and opens doors that no one can shut.

In Revelation 3:7-8, it is declared that Christ has the keys of David and opens doors that no one can shut. This illustrates His sovereignty and divine authority over both spiritual opportunities and the hearts of men. When God desires a person to receive the gospel, He opens their heart as He did with Lydia in Acts 16:14. Therefore, the belief that God controls the opening and shutting of hearts is rooted not only in scripture but also in the experience of individuals who recognize that none can resist His will when He chooses to intervene in their lives.
