A right heart is a NEW heart (Ezek. 36:26). It is not the heart with which a person is born—but another heart put in them by the Holy Spirit.
It is a heart which has new tastes, new joys, new sorrows, new desires, new hopes, new fears, new likes, new dislikes. It has new views about the soul, sin, God, Christ, salvation, the Bible, prayer, heaven, hell, the world, and holiness.
Ezekiel 36
26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh -nkjv
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. -kjv
26 Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. -nasb
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. -niv
2 Corinthians 5
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. -nkjv
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. -kjv
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new [g]creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. -nasb
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here! -niv
