IN OUR HEART

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.”

Ephesians 3:17-19 KJV

I have received emails from people who wrote and said that Jesus doesn’t live in our heart and it is unscriptural to say that He does live in our heart.  I submit to you on the authority of the Word of God that statement is a lie from the pits of hell.  Our Scripture tells us that Christ dwells in our heart.

Leila Naylor Morris wrote the beautiful and inspiring hymn “Let Jesus Come Into Your Heart”.  It is one of my favorite hymns.  “If you are tired of the load of your sin, Let Jesus come into your heart; If you desire a new life to begin, Let Jesus come into your heart”.  Have you opened the door of your heart to Jesus?

Jesus Himself said “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20).  Jesus is not a liar.  If He said that He will come into us, He will come into us.  What a Saviour!  O how He loves you and me.

Jesus has been knocking at the door of many people’s hearts for years and they have rejected Him.  How it must hurt Him and break His heart when they refuse to let Him come into their heart.  He loves them so much that He suffered, bled and died for them.  It also hurts God when we reject His Son.
