Why is it necessary to have a heart change to follow Christ?

Answered in 1 source

A heart change is essential to turning away from sin and embracing Christ's salvation.

A change of heart is fundamental to authentic faith in Christ. As stated in Proverbs 28:26, trusting in one's own heart is foolishness. Only through the conviction of the Holy Spirit can we recognize our sinfulness and need for a Savior. This revelation leads to repentance and a plea for a new heart, as seen in David's prayer for a clean heart (Psalm 51:10). Such a change enables us to genuinely seek after God, believe in Jesus' redemptive work, and receive salvation, as we cannot earn it through our efforts.
