What does it mean that Christ opened Lydia's heart?

Answered in 1 source

When it is said that Christ opened Lydia's heart, it means He enabled her to understand and accept the Gospel message being preached by Paul.

The statement that Christ opened Lydia's heart signifies a profound spiritual transformation brought about by divine intervention. In Acts 16:14, this act of opening emphasizes that true understanding and acceptance of the Gospel is initiated by Christ Himself, through the Holy Spirit's work within her. This opening of the heart is not merely an intellectual acknowledgment but involves a heart that is made willing to understand and embrace the truth. It indicates that spiritual revelation and conversion are acts of God's grace, allowing individuals like Lydia to proceed from seeking God to genuinely believing and responding to His message of salvation.
