Keep hearts open to God's truth daily?
How can we ensure our hearts are open to God's truth daily?

The Verse That Frames Our Study

“Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.” — 2 Corinthians 3:15


Why the Veil Matters

• The veil is literal and spiritual: it blocks clear sight of God’s truth.

• It reminds us that without divine help, the heart naturally resists Scripture’s light (John 3:19).

• The good news follows in 2 Corinthians 3:16: “But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.”


How the Veil Is Lifted

1. Turn to the Lord in faith (2 Corinthians 3:16).

2. Receive the Spirit who brings freedom and clarity (2 Corinthians 3:17).

3. Behold Christ’s glory, allowing transformation “from glory to glory” (2 Corinthians 3:18).


Daily Habits That Keep the Heart Open

• Start with humble prayer for insight: “Open my eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of Your law” (Psalm 119:18).

• Read Scripture expectantly, believing every word is God-breathed and profitable (2 Timothy 3:16).

• Confess sin quickly; unconfessed sin hardens the heart (Psalm 32:3-5; 1 John 1:9).

• Obey what you already know; obedience invites deeper revelation (James 1:22-25).

• Meditate on the Word day and night, letting it dwell richly within (Joshua 1:8; Colossians 3:16).

• Stay in fellowship with other believers who sharpen and encourage (Hebrews 10:24-25).

• Guard your mind from competing voices that dull spiritual sensitivity (Proverbs 4:23).

• End each day reflecting on how the Lord spoke and how you responded (Psalm 139:23-24).


Signs Your Heart Is Staying Open

• Scripture feels alive and penetrating (Hebrews 4:12).

• Conviction leads to quick repentance rather than resentment.

• Joy and gratitude grow even amid trials (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

• A desire arises to share truth with others (Jeremiah 20:9).

• Christ’s character—love, holiness, humility—progressively marks your actions (Galatians 5:22-23).


Encouragement to Persevere

The same Lord who removes the veil delights to keep your heart tender. Continue turning to Him daily, confident that “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion” (Philippians 1:6).
