God changes our hearts by replacing our stony hearts with new hearts of flesh, making us new creations.
The transformation of our hearts is a significant aspect of salvation. Ezekiel 36:26 states, 'A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you.' This change is not merely an external adjustment but an internal regeneration by the Holy Spirit, thoroughly altering our desires and inclinations. When God removes our stony, hardened hearts and replaces them with hearts of flesh, we begin to respond to Him in faith and obedience. This miraculous work enables believers to have a genuine desire for God and His ways, reflecting a true relationship with Him.
