What does the Bible say about inviting Jesus into our hearts?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes that it is God who invites us to Christ, not the other way around.

The concept of inviting Jesus into our hearts is a contemporary evangelical notion that diverges from the scriptural emphasis. The Bible consistently portrays God as the initiator, inviting sinners to come to Him. Whether through the call to discipleship or the invitation to partake in His kingdom, it is Christ who beckons us to follow Him. As Isaiah 55:1 states, 'Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat!' This presents a clear picture of God's invitation to us, illustrating that we are called to respond to His grace rather than presuming to invite Him into our lives.
