The Bible speaks often of the heart. The word heart can mean different things depending upon the context. Most often, the heart refers to the soul of a human being that controls the will and emotions. The heart is the “inner man or woman.” (2 Corinthians 4:16). The prophet Ezekiel makes several references to a “new heart” (e.g., Ezekiel 18:31; 36:26). An oft-quoted verse is Ezekiel 11:19 where God says, “I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.”
We examine ten things we learn about our new heart from the book of Ezekiel. Additional scriptures referenced include Ezekiel 3:7; Ezekiel 11; Ezekiel 13:2; Ezekiel 14:5); Ezekiel 16:30; Ezekiel 28:2; Ezekiel 44:7; Ezekiel 36:27; Ezekiel 6:9; Ezekiel 37:14 and 2 Corinthians 5:17.
