How does God change our hearts?

Answered in 4 sources

God changes our hearts through the work of the Holy Spirit, which transforms us to be more like Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).

The transformation of the human heart is a profound work of the Holy Spirit, signified by the new birth that believers experience upon trusting in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 articulates this transformative power, saying, 'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.' This denotes that God does not merely modify behavior but fundamentally changes the individual from the inside out. Through His grace, He enables believers to love God and obey His commandments, reflecting a heart that desires holiness and righteousness. The gifts bestowed upon the Church facilitate this growth, allowing believers to encourage one another in the truth of God’s Word and effectively pursue conformity to the image of Christ.
