Ezekiel 36:26

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”

-Ezekiel 36:26

Like most prophets, Ezekiel had the tough and thankless job of calling a decidedly sinful generation to repentance. Throughout this book, Ezekiel continually reminds Israel that God isn’t out to punish his people for punishment’s sake. He wants to restore the nation to obedience and blessing.

Why is this verse inspirational?

Ultimately, God is not simply concerned with Israel’s external obedience. He wants his people’s faithfulness to flow from their love for him. It’s an inspiring reminder that God’s looking at our motivations—and we should be, too.
