Hebrews 3:6-8
But Christ, as the Son, is in charge of God’s entire house. And we are
God’s house, IF we keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in
Christ. 7 That is why the Holy Spirit says,
“Today WHEN you hear his voice, 8 Don’t Harden Your Hearts as Israel did when they rebelled, when they
tested me in the wilderness.
Some Causes of a Hardened Heart:
Persistent sin: Ongoing disobedience - You know it’s wrong BUT you keep on doing it.
Repeated Rejection: Consistently ignoring God's word or appeals can cause the heart to become more calloused.
Pride: Feelings of self-importance and arrogance.
Life's disappointments: Setbacks and disappointments can contribute to the hardening of the heart.
Unbelief: Disregarding, Ignoring, or Denying God's power and truth.
