God Promises A New Heart

Romans 11:26; Ezekiel 36:26

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

In Tuesday's discussion we answered the question Can these bones live, for today we will look at God's promise to Israel of a new heart one that will become soft as flesh and one that will cause a change in direction that is focused on Him. The promise of a new heart depicts both a physical and spiritual restoration for the nation of Israel and believers under the new covenant, which was established by Christ (Jeremiah 31:31-34).

A new heart was necessary because God's people had turned their backs on Him forgetting all that He had done for them. Their hearts had become waxed cold as they were doing all manner of evil in God's eyesight so much so God referred to them as dry bones (Tuesday's discussion).

However, we see God getting ready to make a change in the people's condition as His prophet were to preach His Word and He would do the rest, which was a heart transplant one which obeys His Word and walk according to His statues.

Why a new heart because it is the epicenter of all man's actions either good or bad. With this new heart and God's spirit living within people will be saved, both then and now "all Israel/believers." Why? Because when God's Word is preach it has a positive effect on the hearer.
A new heart one that is obedient to God.
