What does it mean to have God open our hearts?

Answered in 1 source

Having God open our hearts refers to the supernatural act by which He enables us to understand and receive His Word.

The concept of God opening hearts is rooted in Scripture, specifically demonstrated in Acts 16:14 with Lydia. This divine act allows individuals to perceive spiritual truths that were previously obscured. The natural man cannot discern the things of God without this intervention, as stated in 1 Corinthians 2:14. Therefore, when God opens a heart, it is a miraculous and transformative experience that leads to belief in Christ and the acceptance of the Gospel. This illustrates the sovereign grace of God in the salvation process, emphasizing our complete dependence on Him for understanding and salvation.
