What does it mean for Christ to dwell in our hearts?

Answered in 2 sources

For Christ to dwell in our hearts means that He takes up residence within us through faith, influencing our thoughts and actions.

When Paul speaks of Christ dwelling in our hearts in Ephesians 3:17, he is referring to a transformative relationship established through faith. This indwelling involves Christ actively shaping our lives and character, presenting Himself as our source of strength and guidance. Believers are to understand that this is not a passive presence; rather, it is a profound reality where Christ influences every aspect of our being. This relationship continues to grow as we engage in faith and love, leading us to desire a deeper intimacy with Him, which exemplifies the new covenant promise where God writes His laws in our hearts.
