What does the Bible say about giving your heart to Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

The phrase 'give your heart to Jesus' is not found in Scripture as a directive for salvation.

While the Scripture does say, 'My son, give me thine heart,' it is addressing those who are already God's children. In man's natural state, the heart is filled with wickedness, which separates him from God. The transformation required for salvation involves a change in the heart by God's saving grace, rather than presenting an unchanged heart as a gift to God. Thus, this common phrase lacks a true scriptural basis in relation to receiving salvation.
