As Christians we have been great at bringing the Gospel message for individuals to get Jesus into a man's heart.

In any case, we have dismissed a vital piece of the Gospel and that is tied in with living in God's heart. God's want is that we would end up joined with Him. We are to stay in Him and He in us
1 John 1:3 KJV
................. and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Fellowship is the Greek word koinonia, which actually implies association and fellowship. God wants that our heart ends up one with His heart.
When we consider having Jesus in our heart we now and then ponder three inches tall and we in some cases regard Him all things considered.
Individuals now and again get Jesus into their heart and afterward go ahead with their lives as opposed to living in His life. A few people wear Jesus as a lucky trinket and just cooperative with Him when they have a need or a crisis.
In any case, Jesus wants to live in something other than a piece of our heart. He wants to fill our heart and our general existence. He wants to have His hands in our grasp and His feet in our feet with the goal that we will go and do what He wants. Jesus says,
John 15:5 KJV
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Living in Christ is the place you are changed into same image
2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
The disclosure of being in Christ changes our idea of our identity. It is in Christ where His identity is joined with our identity and we go up against another identity. We turn into another individual with another state of mind, new practices, new likes, and abhorrences. We don't generally know our identity until the point that we see our selves in Christ, in light of the fact that our life is covered up in Him.
Colossians 2:2-3 KJV
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; [3] In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Living in God's heart is living in His love. Jesus says,
John 15:9-11 KJV
As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. [10] If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. [11] These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
We live and stay in God's love by following the summons that Jesus gives us. The majority of God's word need to do with love, cherishing God and adoring others.
When we are strolling in God's love, following His word , His bliss is show in our heart. We at that point do His word with joy in light of the fact that there is no more prominent euphoria than the delight that originates from communicating love.
1 John 5:3-4 KJV
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. [4] For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
We are ordered to love God with the greater part of our heart and other individuals as our self. What's more, you should love the lord your God with everything that is in you, with your entire existence, with all your psyche, and energetically. This is the principal charge. Also, the second, similar to it, is this: You might love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other instruction more prominent than these. (Mark 12:30-31) When we are living in intimate romance we are living in God.
We as a whole should rely on God to roll out the improvements in our souls that are vital for us to be more similar to Him. We even need God to help us in assessing our own particular hearts in the light of His word and by His Holy Spirit. The heart is tricky most importantly things and past cure. Who can comprehend it?
** Jeremiah 17:9-10 KJV**
The heart is deceitful above all things , and desperately wicked: who can know it? [10] I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
Jesus showed that we are debased by what leaves our hearts. What's more, He stated, "What leaves a man, that contaminates a man. "
Mark 7:20-23 KJV
And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. [21] For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, [22] Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: [23] All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Sin is a heart issue. The activities of transgression happen when an evil desire in our heart imagines with a temptation from outside
Let nobody say when he is enticed
James 1:13-15 KJV
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [14] But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. [15] Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Here and there individuals have concealed evil wants somewhere down in their heart and they lay torpid until the point when an outside enticement resuscitates them.
Keep in mind that Jesus said that the master of this world, Satan, had nothing in Him, (John 14:30). As it were there was nothing in Jesus' heart that Satan could entice Jesus into doing against the Father's will.
The lord is continually searching for individuals whose hearts are immaculate toward Him.
2 Chronicles 16:9 KJV
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
God can change our heart and even give us another heart that is perfect toward Him.
Ezekiel 36:26-27 KJV
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. [27] And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them .
I trust that as we please ourselves in the lord He will change our wants and give us His wants, (He should give you the wants of your heart). As we confer our way toward the lord He will bring us into His honesty.
Jesus guarantees to uncover Himself to the individuals who love and obey Him. "He who has My edicts and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. Also, he who loves Me will be loved by My father, and I will love him and show Myself to him." (John 14:21)
A pure heart before God has awesome reward. Favored are the pure in heart, for they will see God. (Matthew 5:8)
