We often hear evangelists spouting religious-sounding things that do not always come from the Bible. One such commonly found fallacy is the idea of asking Jesus into our hearts. How often have we heard this idea? It is so commonly accepted that it may even sound sacriligious to challenge the idea. In fact there is no Bible command, directive, instruction or even a hint of any kind that we do any such thing as ask Jesus into our hearts. This is one of those saying that has crept into pop culture which has no biblical backing whatsoever. There is, however, someone who does live in our hearts, if we allow him. According to 1 Corinthians 6:19 that person is the Holy Spirit. Let's make sure that we get our faith out of the guide book to Christianity, the Bible, and not from the vain ideas and traditions of mere men.
