Jesus in your heart by faith has slipped out of American Christianity. Mainly because only kids were told Jesus was in them. It is a Bible verse that Christ is in your heart by faith. Telling an American "by faith" is like saying its not happening for you. Simply understand that it is only Salvation faith that is required to have Jesus in your heart is what we all forgot. And that's what it used to be understood when children prayed to ask Jesus in their hearts. The profound thing is that Jesus really is there even if you are saved. We just are not told Why or what he does. People have no problem with the idea of regeneration and the Holy Spirit being in them. Especially Pentecostals who believe The Spirit is active in them. This is why it says, by Faith. Because there may be no work or sign that proves Jesus is even there. Some people take it figurative. That Jesus simply loves us is the interpretation. But that is not what it means. Jesus in your heart by faith, means that He is really there with Holy Spirit doing ministry. What ministry? That everything the Spirit ever said to you was spoken by Christ according to the Scripture which says the Spirit only speaks what He hears from Christ. It actually is that both are in you conversing. The classic THUS SAITH THE LORD (Jesus) is actually Christ and Spirit fulfilling that even though the Spirit is saying it as even in Old Testament, It is still Christ speaking through the Spirit.

The epiphany for me was when I realized that I was IN JESUS' HEART.

Technically (ugh, another picky person) it is the Holy Spirit or as sometimes called 'the Spirit of Christ' that is in us.
Jesus has flesh, sitting at the right hand of the Father, interceeding, etc., for us.
He is coming back, but not technically in us, at least as far as He exists as the God/man.

GAL.2:20. - “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me;
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave Himself for me."

[h=1]John
16:7[/h]
7.) Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8.) And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9.) Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10.) Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11.) Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
12.) I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

Obviously this is referring to the Spirit of Christ, not Jesus who has come in the flesh.
Jesus has not nor will He ever shed His Body since His resurrection. You can't separate His two natures (human and Divine).

Jesus has risen, and will one day come back. He left us His Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ and this is what is referred to as Christ in us.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen(Hebrews 11:1).

Faith is believing in what you cannot see,but there is evidence that it does exist by the things we can see,which the Bible says creation testifies that there is a God,and of His attributes,and the word of God testifies of the one true God,for God said He told us the end from the beginning,which no other religion can do,and told us the whole history of mankind,which we then believe in Jesus for we believe the word of God,and the Spirit will bear witness with our spirit,that we are the children of God.

That is why Jesus said blessed is the person that has not seen Him,but still believes,for it is by faith,for if we could see it we would only believe because we seen,but God gave us proof that it does exist.

Jesus is in us because the Spirit in Christ is still connected to the omnipresent Spirit of God,for God cannot be separated,and that is why Jesus said the thief would be with Him in paradise that day,although He was buried.
