24 “‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. 28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God.
Think about it this way. Your heart is either a sponge or a rock. When water is poured onto the rock what does it do? The water just slides right off. But, when water is poured onto the sponge it gets absorbed.
It's like God's love for us. God wants to fill our hearts with his love. God wants to pour all kinds of love and blessings into our lives. God can give us a new heart. One that will soak up all his love.
We should love others because Christ first loved us. He will always be our God. He accepts us for our sins and we need to repent of them.
