How does grace change a person's heart?

According to Ezekiel 36:26-27, God promises to give us a new heart and spirit, signifying a transformative work of grace that allows us to turn from our sinful natures. This change is not a result of our efforts but God's sovereign action; it's about His power to regenerate us, as emphasized in Titus 3:5. When grace transforms us, we begin to desire God's ways and empower us to live according to His statutes. Thus, in sovereign grace theology, we see that genuine change in the believer's life is a direct result of God's grace working within them, not through human merit.
