“Since our problem is with our hearts, the Spirit gives us new birth into a new life precisely by giving us new hearts (Ezekiel 36:26; Jn 3:3-8). The tool he uses is Scripture (1 Peter 1:23; Jas 1:18), but through Scripture, he opens our blinded eyes to see who the Lord truly and beautifully is and so he wins our hearts back to him, and that is life—to know him (Jn 17:3).”
