Ezekiel recognized that this new heart & spirit God was promising were gifts from God and not products of anything we could do on our own. (Ezekiel 36:26) God wanted to change His people from the inside out, giving them an devoted heart of loyalty to the Lord and a new, responsive spirit in place of their rebellious & dead heart. Hebrews 8:8-13 goes on to speak of this…the new heart and new spirit promised here in Ezekiel to God’s Old Covenant people now received by His New Covenant people – all those who trust in Jesus Christ alone for Salvation. For as we are renewed, God enables us to put off old ways of disobedience and put on new acts of faithfulness to Him, (Ephesians 4:22-24) as we are being changed from the inside out.
