By heart, Ezekiel was referring to the seat of our thoughts, emotions and personality. Were he writing today, Ezekiel would probably have spoken of a near-total brain transplant. And note that the change is so profound that he likens it to the enormous difference between flesh and stone. Even imperfect modern medical ethics would not tolerate even a minor operation to be performed against a persons will, let alone something that would change a persons entire personality. Even if it were a lifesaving operation, medics would try hard to persuade the person and advise of the importance of the operation, but they would be forced to leave it there if the person refused them permission to operate. No wonder God who always acts with the highest conceivable integrity does not bring about spiritual rebirth without peoples conscious consent. Of course, Gods methods are too sophisticated to be physically invasive, but in terms of its affect upon our entire being, nothing not even death could be more invasive, because its effects last for all eternity. In fact, letting God take up residence in our lives ultimately affects every cell in our body because the end result will be a completely new body in the age to come. What else has such a massive impact on our personality and our destiny? This fundamental change is so appropriately called being born again because we have to go right back to our very conception to find anything so radically affecting who we are.
Its said we cant choose our parents, and yet God has bestowed on us such dignity that spiritually we can do just that.
