2 | Can God change our heart? | Ps 51:10 | Robert Nicholson | 51019 | ||
Greetings oregonraindrops God tells us about the spiritual human heart. "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" (Jeremiah 17:9) From this we learn that we cannot change our own heart. Can God change our heart? The Psalmist could pray: "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." (Psalm 51:10) It would appear that David believed God could change him. Paul writes: "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Cor. 5:17) I believe this includes our spiritual heart. It certainly refers to our changed focus of love and our desires which are new in Christ. In fact it is only through this change that we are able to approach God and to please him. I believe when we are "born from above" by the Spirit of God that he changes us at the time we place faith in Christ and continues to change us througout our lives to be more like him. There may be other verses. Robert |

3 | Can God change our heart? | Ps 51:10 | Mommapbs | 143355 | ||
Greetings Robert - and old post but a folllow up to your suggestion of other verses . . . take a look at Eze 36:26. "Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. Far too often I have heard Christians declare that their heart is deceitful and desperately wicked; they entreat the Lord to "create in me a clean heart" (Ps:51:10) and in doing so, they deny what God declared HE has ALREADY DONE! God has given us a new heart - holy - fit for Him to take up residence in! Might this be the work of "regeneration" by the Holy Spirit? We are declared righteous and a new heart is created - spoken into existence from nothing. Our spiritual heart of stone is REMOVED, not re-made! Just think of it - how might believing God in this create a change in our thinking? How might this influence our self-worth? How might it influence our outlook on life and in our relationships with others? Blessings to you, mommapbs |
