What does the Bible say about the hardness of man's heart?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes the natural heart as dead in sin and unable to receive God's truth without His divine influence.

The Scriptures reveal that apart from God's enabling grace, the human heart is hardened and cannot perceive or accept His truth. In Isaiah 28, we see that the people of Ephraim exemplify this spiritual blindness, as they refuse to repent despite being warned of impending judgment. This reflects the broader message in Scripture, where Paul explains in Ephesians 2:1 that we are dead in our trespasses and sins, indicating a complete inability to respond to God without the intervention of His Spirit. Thus, it's by God's power alone that sinners can be made alive and receptive to His Word.
Scripture References: Isaiah 28:1-13, Ephesians 2:1
