What does it mean to harden your heart spiritually?

Answered in 1 source

Hardened hearts refer to a deliberate rejection of God's truth and a refusal to heed His voice.

Spiritually hardening one's heart involves a willful dismissal of God's word and truth, resulting in a state that is resistant to His guidance and salvation. This principle is illustrated by the Israelites, who despite witnessing God's mighty works, chose to disregard His commands, leading to their downfall in the wilderness (Hebrews 3:10-11). The consequences of such spiritual hardening are severe; it results in an alienation from God and a dire judgment. The Bible emphasizes the need for responsive hearts that are open to God's direction and mercies, contrasting with the fate of those who continually choose their own path over divine confession (Hebrews 3:15).
