Jesus said, "See, 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" (Rev. 3:20).

Some people use that verse for evangelism. Some realize it's talking about the churches. I want to talk about something else that it also means. We talk about 'receiving Jesus into your heart' as Savior. Receiving Jesus into your heart (at least in your daily life) is actually allowing Him to sit on the throne of your heart; ie. allowing Him to be your Lord.

When someone's heart 'accepts Jesus' (ie. enthrones Jesus as Lord), then the person's physical home also becomes open to Jesus who indeed does enter into that physical home and remain there. I want to share some of the things I've learned about this spiritual dynamic-- only some things because it is very multi-faceted.

Ezekiel 36:26, Micah 6:7-8
A new Heart given over the first born Heart of Stone. Given in the risen Jesus to us from Father for us in his Holy Spirit to teach us new. If one is willing to God to get that done in them. One will then grow in grace given them to see and begin to know truth over errors still here in this world
The New Heart is Father leading in Father's Spirit and Truth, the Holy Spirit, to me at least, that does love everyone period, everyone, otherwise that cross would not have ever taken place in the first place, to me at least, thanking Father and Son as Won seeing scripture fulfilled in Psalm 103:12 by Son for us all to attend to and be new too. Leaving sin one at a time behind them as continuing in thanksgiving and praise it is finished by Son for them that will not quit, that is done for us (John 19:30) to begin new as if never sinned (Col 1:21-23) amazing grace to see nothing, can separate us from this love and mercy given us by God, even from day one in the fall of the first Adam. (Hebrews 4:9-13) to be willing to continue to learn new daily and see the sin leave us in humility, one at a time, not a bunch at once, to not be proud over it leaving. yet is gone, Father and Son getting all the credit for it forever at least me thank you. If it is all at once for us then confusion sneaks in and causes no rest and one gets stressed, at least I now see, thanking Father for revealing this truth to me, me not quitting belief to God it is done for new life to be revealed, revealed by not quitting, even going through troubles also.
So, all I can say to all is: You believe God, then continue in it as said in Col 1:1-23 we are forgiven as if never sinned from Father's view, thanks to Son for us all to choose to believe God or not consciously. If anyone continues, one will one day see through it all in humility too, thank you
