“Does God harden people’s hearts?”
Matthew 7 really scares me! To whom does Jesus say, “Depart from Me”? Right now, I’m being slandered. And the person doing it is a believer! How does God view this injustice? If God hardened Pharaoh’s heart long ago, then does He harden people’s hearts today so they can’t believe?
“Try to be more like Christ”?
Should we strive to be like Jesus? How do identity and behavior play out together? Does God harden people’s hearts today? What does it mean to enter God’s “Sabbath rest”?
