What Does It Mean When God Hardens Your Heart
The phrase ‘God hardens your heart’ appears in the Bible, most notably in the story of Pharaoh in Exodus and in Romans 9. It describes divine action that strengthens a person’s resistance or obstinacy, often in the context of judgment or to fulfill a larger divine purpose. Interpretations vary widely among theologians, from God actively causing hardness to simply allowing existing hardness to persist.
