What does the Bible say about God hardening hearts?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible indicates that God hardens hearts to demonstrate His power and sovereignty, as seen with Pharaoh in Exodus.

In Exodus 7:3, the Lord declares, 'I will harden Pharaoh's heart,' illustrating the profound truth that God actively hardens hearts to accomplish His divine purposes. This hardening is not arbitrary but serves to showcase His power and glory through the plagues and subsequent deliverance of Israel. It is daunting, as a hardened heart is a state of rebellion against God, leading to destruction. Moreover, passages like Romans 9 reinforce that God chooses whom to harden and whom to have mercy on, emphasizing His sovereignty in salvation and judgment.
