How does God transform our hearts?

Answered in 1 source

God transforms our hearts by granting us a new heart and spirit through the work of the Holy Spirit.

According to Ezekiel 36:26, God promises to give His people a new heart and a new spirit: 'I will give you a new heart and a new spirit I will put within you.' This transformation occurs through the regenerative work of the Holy Spirit, who enables believers to respond to God's grace. The Reformed perspective holds that this new heart is essential for faith and repentance. By empowering us to believe in Christ, the Spirit replaces our 'heart of stone' with a 'heart of flesh' that is responsive to God's will, allowing us to live in a manner that is pleasing to Him. This transformation is a critical aspect of salvation, reflecting God's sovereign grace in the lives of His people.
