וּמָ֨ל יְהֹוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֶ֛יךָ אֶת־לְבָבְךָ֖ וְאֶת־לְבַ֣ב זַרְעֶ֑ךָ לְאַהֲבָ֞ה אֶת־יְהֹוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֶ֛יךָ בְּכׇל־לְבָבְךָ֥ וּבְכׇל־נַפְשְׁךָ֖ לְמַ֥עַן חַיֶּֽיךָ׃
וּמַלְתֶּ֕ם אֵ֖ת עׇרְלַ֣ת לְבַבְכֶ֑ם וְעׇ֨רְפְּכֶ֔ם לֹ֥א תַקְשׁ֖וּ עֽוֹד׃
In the first passuk it seems Hashem will remove the spiritual foreskin, in the second passuk seems you have to do it yourself... which one is it?
Clearly, we are not discussing a physical foreskin on the heart, otherwise, each of us would go through open-heart surgery. We are talking about a spiritual foreskin. This is created by doing sins. Yet we are in the middle of talking about the afterlife of the times of messiah, what are we trying to add?
There is a lesson for all of us at all times. You do your bit Hashem will do the rest... When someone repents or dies before his time Hashem calculate his life path from when he dies but will stay alive. If a good person has done his part to remove the spiritual foreskin Hashem will judge him for the good...
