Receiving Christ Jesus into Your Heart

A Sound Doctrinal Truth

Receiving Christ into your heart by faith is not emotional language — it’s biblical truth. The New Testament teaches that salvation is a matter of the heart: believing, opening, and allowing Christ to dwell within.

Romans 10:9-10
“If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Ephesians 3:17
“That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love…”

Revelation 3:20
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.”

John 1:12
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.”

Galatians 2:20
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.”

These verses show a consistent theme — salvation begins in the heart. It’s not mere belief in the mind, but faith that welcomes Jesus to take residence within. This is not a metaphor; it’s the reality of the new birth through faith in Christ Jesus.

Receiving Christ into your heart by faith is sound, scriptural doctrine.
