What does that even mean? Accept Jesus in to my heart?

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to drop a quick note regarding a commonly used phrase in Evangelical circles today. It seems like everywhere you look the Gospel message is being watered down....this is even happening with "well meaning Christians" and preachers. The phrase I am referring to is "accept Jesus in to your heart".

God's Word doesn't say "accept Jesus in to your heart"....it says "Put your faith in Christ for the forgiveness of sins and REPENT"....."lest a man be born-again he will NOT see the Kingdom of Heaven"....."Flesh gives birth to flesh, but Spirit gives birth to spirit"....to be born-again means the old is gone and the new has come; the desires of your heart change from having a love for the passions and lusts of this world to a love for the things of God....when we are born of the Spirit we will have a HATRED for the things of this world.

I love what Paul says in Galatians 4:16; "Have I now become your enemy because I tell you the Truth?" This is The Truth and the enemy has done a number on our society in that when we hear certain words we automatically tune out the person speaking....words like Judgment, Wrath, Born-Again.....we prefer phrases like, "accept Jesus in to your heart".....there is no "us accepting Jesus"....it is "us pleading with Jesus to accept and forgive us".
