My heart is TOO HARD.

If you have a hard heart, that is just why you ought to come to Christ because the Lord wants to give you a new heart.

A NEW heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

AND I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Ezekiel 36:26-27.

AND I will give them one heart, and 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.

Then God will do two things, His part

2nd "He will abundantly pardon”—you!
