Ezekiel 26:36, “And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.” The Bible speaks often of the heart. The human heart was created to mirror God’s own heart (Genesis 1:27; James 3:9). We were designed to love Him, love righteousness, and walk in harmony with God and others (Micah 6:8). However, sin has caused our hearts to be deceitful and wicked. As such, we are in need of heart transplants, which we receive when we are born again. Someone whom God has given a new heart behaves differently.
