Eph 3:17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will go down into God’s love and keep you strong ( NLT).
” Come and be everything I am and all I know. Search me through and through ” till my heart becomes a home for you. Come and make my heart your home…” (women of faith lyrics)
Christ is an inhabitant in the heart of every believer. By faith we open the doors of our hearts and receive him. By faith we admit him and submit to him. The phrase ” making his home in us” denotes a very close and intimate relationship with him. We must have a Constance of his love and presence in us.
It is not enough that he be on the tongue, or flit through the brain; the heart is his proper seat ( Calvin). When he comes in, we must allow him to deal with every area of our lives that is not aligned to his will. Christ want to settle down in us! He is not here for a visit but he is here to stay, to make his home and stay with us.
