What does the Bible say about God's hardening of hearts?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that God can harden hearts to fulfill His purposes, as seen in Exodus 7:3.

The concept of God hardening hearts is seen throughout Scripture, particularly in the story of Pharaoh in Exodus 7:3 where the Lord explicitly says, 'And I will harden Pharaoh's heart.' This divine action is not arbitrary but serves God's greater purpose of demonstrating His power and glory. As Paul discusses in Romans 9, some may argue that this makes God unjust; however, God has the sovereign right to do what He wills with His creation. The hardening of Pharaoh's heart showcases God's control over even the most obstinate of rebels, ultimately leading to the display of His might through the plagues in Egypt.
