What does it mean to harden your heart according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Harden your heart refers to resisting God's call and refusing to respond to His voice.

In Psalm 95, the admonition to 'harden not your heart' serves as a warning against unbelief, which caused the Israelites to fail to enter the promised rest. This hardening occurs when individuals resist the conviction of the Holy Spirit, delaying or refusing to accept God's invitation to trust in Christ for salvation. The writer of Hebrews highlights this warning, indicating that failure to respond can lead to severe spiritual consequences. It is essential for believers to maintain a soft heart by remaining open to God's guidance and responding promptly to His voice.
