Ezekiel 36:26

24 For ^aI will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land.

25 ^aThen I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you ^bfrom all your filthiness and from all your idols.

26 I will give you a ^anew heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

27 I will put My ^aSpirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

28 ^aThen you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; ^byou shall be My people, and I will be your God.

29 I will ^adeliver you from all your uncleannesses. ^bI will call for the grain and multiply it, and ^cbring no famine upon you.

30 ^aAnd I will multiply the fruit of your trees and the increase of your fields, so that you need never again bear the reproach of famine among the nations.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Ezekiel 36:25

Ezekiel 36:27 >>

A new heart - A new frame of soul, a mind changed, from sinful to holy, from carnal to spiritual. A heart in which the law of God is written, Jeremiah 31:33. A sanctified heart, in which the almighty grace of God is victorious, and turns it from all sin to God. A new spirit - A new, holy frame in the spirit of man; which is given to him, not wrought by his own power. The stony - The senseless unfeeling. Out of your flesh - Out of you. Of flesh - That is, quite of another temper, hearkening to God's law, trembling at his threats, moulded into a compliance with his whole will; to forbear, do, be, or suffer what God will, receiving the impress of God, as soft wax receives the impress of the seal.
