"The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul" (Acts 16:14). Lydia heard the gospel and believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. Before her conversion, the Lord opened her heart to understand the gospel. The Lord opened her heart, enabling her to believe the gospel.
Pray for others who don't understand the gospel of Christ. Ask God to open their hearts to hear and respond to the gospel. Knowing that the Lord always gives us a choice to believe in Christ, we must first hear and understand the message. Our salvation is through faith in Christ, upon hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17).
The Lord opens hearts to bring salvation. The Lord changes our hearts, that we may love Him and desire to obey His word. "And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live" (Deuteronomy 30:6). Likewise, the New Testament teaches the same (Romans 2:28-29).

The Lord opens the hearts of believers to understand more of the Scripture. This enables us to grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ (2 Peter 3:18). The Holy Spirit guides believers into all truth (John 16:7-13). The Lord opens our hearts to experience more of his grace.
