Deep dives
The meaning of hardness of heart
Hardness of heart in the Bible refers to a heart that lacks compassion and tenderness. It is unfeeling and unmoved by human suffering or the efforts of prophets to communicate truth. This hardness of heart extends to being unresponsive and unfeeling towards God's word, mercies, and gospel offers. It refuses to hear God and turn to Him in repentance. Jonathan Edwards defines hardness of heart as an unaffected heart that is difficult to move with virtuous affections. It is like a stone, insensible and hard to be impressed.
