What Does the Bible Say About Softening a Hardened Heart?
The Bible speaks a lot about hardening and softening hearts. In the Old Testament, God often speaks of hardening Pharaoh’s heart in order to bring about his will. In the New Testament, Jesus speaks of softening hearts in order to bring about his will.
In the Old Testament, God often uses the phrase “hardened heart” to describe someone who is stubborn and resistant to his will. In Exodus 4:21, God says, “And the Lord said to Moses, ‘When you go back to Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go.’”
In the New Testament, Jesus speaks of softening hearts in order to bring about his will. In Mark 8:17, Jesus says, “And when Jesus knew it, he said to them, ‘Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?’”
The Bible teaches us that God can harden hearts, but he can also soften them. In Ezekiel 11:19, God says, “And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh.”
God can soften a hardened heart through prayer, repentance, and faith. In Psalm 51:10, David prays, “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” In 2 Corinthians 7:10, Paul writes, “For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.” And in Romans 10:17, Paul says, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
God can soften a hardened heart, but it is up to us to open our hearts to him. We must be willing to turn away from our sins and turn to God in faith. When we do this, God will work in us to soften our hearts and bring us closer to him.
