Bible Question:
I'm one hundred percent in agreement with everyone that says that God gives us a new heart when we are in Christ. (Ezekiel 36:26-27) Where I am puzzled is when I see these verses that say (apparently to me anyway) that these folks who received the Word did so BECAUSE their heart was different. To put it another way, it isn't saying that their heart was different AFTER they heard it (although it obviously would be), it appears that the heart in both of these examples was already open BEFORE they heard the Word.

Bible Answer: Greetings, Huron God is the one to open you heart.Read Acts 16:14...And the Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul (Amplified). Hope this helps. |
