Notes of Faith June 23, 2026

Heart as Home

Behold, 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.

Revelation 3:20

In 1954, the late pastor Robert Boyd Munger published a 32-page pamphlet that has become a classic among writings on Christian discipleship: My Heart—Christ’s Home. He suggested that Christians should think of their heart and their life as their home into which Jesus is invited—even the dark closets we rarely open. What would Jesus find if He walked through the home of our heart?

Munger drew inspiration for his booklet from the fact that Christ does dwell in every believer through the presence of the Holy Spirit. Galatians 2:20 says, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” Revelation 3:20 pictures Christ knocking on the door of the church in Laodicea, seeking entrance and fellowship. By extension, we can picture Christ desiring to enjoy intimate fellowship with everyone who believes in Him (John 14:23). The question is, do we have a reciprocal desire?

Your sanctification (holiness) is God’s will (1 Thessalonians 4:3). Make sure the home of your heart is a welcome place for the Holy Spirit.
