What does the Bible mean by a 'new heart'?

Answered in 1 source

The 'new heart' refers to the transformation and regeneration that God provides, enabling true knowledge and relationship with Him.

In biblical terms, a 'new heart' symbolizes a profound transformation that God effects in His people, enabling them to truly know and love Him. This concept is rooted in Jeremiah 24:7, where God promises to give His people a heart to know Him. It reflects the need for divine intervention, as the natural heart is inclined towards sin and cannot seek God. A new heart embodies a renewed spirit that desires communion with God, understanding His holiness, love, and grace. It is a gift from God, underscoring His grace in the process of regeneration.
