What does it mean to have a 'heart of flesh' according to Scripture?

Answered in 1 source

A 'heart of flesh' symbolizes a renewed, receptive heart capable of understanding and embracing God's Word.

The metaphor of a 'heart of flesh' as described in Ezekiel 36:26 signifies a transformation in the believer’s nature. God promises to remove the stony heart and impart a heart that is tender and receptive to His Word and Spirit. This change is crucial for spiritual growth and understanding, enabling individuals to live in accordance with God's statutes and to produce fruit in their lives. In the context of sovereign grace, this transformation illustrates how God initiates salvation and cultivates genuine faith, all of which are products of His grace rather than human effort, leading to a deep appreciation for the redemptive work of Christ.
