The Bible assures us that when God saves us, He gives us a new heart that is sensitive to sin and desires to follow Him.
Ezekiel 36:26 states, 'A new heart also will I give you.' This promise highlights the transformative work of God in the lives of believers. When one is saved, God replaces the stony, hardened heart with a heart of flesh that is capable of sensing sin and feeling genuine remorse. This new heart is characterized by repentance and a desire to submit to God's will, marking a profound change in one’s life. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit empowers this new heart to seek after God and His righteousness, demonstrating His grace and mercy toward us.
