Walking through Ephesians

What does it mean for Christ to dwell in our hearts by faith? It may be here that many get the erroneous idea that Jesus lives in our hearts. But even Paul would know that it is impossible for the bodily Christ to live in our hearts. The important idea is the idea of faith. Faith implies knowledge and confidence. If I have faith in Christ then I have faith in who He is, not only in the fact of His existence. To have faith in who He is is to have faith in His essential qualities. To have faith in His essential qualities is to desire to make them mine -- to internalize them. And if I internalize the essential qualilties of Christ it is as if He is living in me. Maybe we should stop asking people to invite Jesus into their hearts and encourage them to help them to get to know Him better. For if we do not know Him we will never know what He is like and will be unable to emulate Him.HoneyDew said:
