The great exchange happens when a person gives his heart to Jesus. This transformation is instantaneous, even though it may take a while to regain all of its sensitivity. When a person answers God’s call, a heart transplant takes place. This new heart gives us back the power to overcome the power of sin, the sensitivity to God’s voice, the honesty with ourselves to accept truth, and the willingness to listen and obey Him. What more could you ask for? The great exchange, too wonderful for words.
18 “When the people return to their homeland, they will remove every trace of their vile images and detestable idols. 19 And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them. I will take away their stony, stubborn heart and give them a tender, responsive heart, 20 so they will obey My decrees and regulations. Then they will truly be My people, and I will be their God. 21 But as for those who long for vile images and detestable idols, I will repay them fully for their sins. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”
Ezekiel 11:18-21
