Having a heart of stone means living with a spirit that is hardened against God—cold, unresponsive, and unwilling to receive His truth. This happens when pride, sin, and unbelief create a barrier between the soul and the love of Christ. A heart of stone does not easily feel conviction, compassion, or the gentle leading of the Holy Spirit. Instead, it resists repentance and clings to self. But Scripture reminds us that God does not leave us in this state—He promises in Ezekiel 36:26 to remove the heart of stone and give us a heart of flesh, tender and alive to His presence. This transformation is the work of His grace, softening us to love Him and others as we were created to.
