Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 36:26

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

26. new heart —mind and will. spirit —motive and principle of action. stony heart —unimpressible in serious things; like the "stony ground" ( Matthew 13:5 ; Matthew 13:20 ), unfit for receiving the good seed so as to bring forth fruit. heart of flesh —not "carnal" in opposition to "spiritual"; but impressible and docile, fit for receiving the good seed. In Matthew 13:20- : they are commanded, " Make you a new heart, and a new spirit." Here God says, "A new heart will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you." Thus the responsibility of man, and the sovereign grace of God, are shown to be coexistent. Man cannot make himself a new heart unless God gives it ( Philippians 2:12 ; Philippians 2:13 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-27" class="com-number"
