Why is it important for Christians to have a changed heart?

Answered in 1 source

A changed heart is essential for salvation and genuine faith, distinguishing believers from unbelievers.

In the Reformed theological framework, the concept of a changed heart is foundational to the understanding of regeneration. Jesus teaches that only those with transformed hearts can truly follow Him (John 10:27). This regeneration is a sovereign act of God, wherein He removes the heart of stone and gives a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26), enabling the individual to respond in faith. Without this profound change, individuals remain excluded from the blessings of the Kingdom and are identified with the unredeemed, resulting in separation from God (Revelation 22:15) because they remain in their sinful state.
