	Greetings Slhenry! The short answer to your question is that the Bible never says any such thing. In fact, it says the opposite. For instance, Gen. 6:5 says, "The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time." While Jer. 17:9 says, "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?" Rom. 1:21 describes the heart of fallen man in this way, "For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened." Fortunately, Acts 15:9 tells us that our hearts can be purified by faith. When that happens, God's Spirit enters our hearts: 2 Cor. 1:21 - "Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 2Co 1:22 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come." But, Gal. 4:6 tells us that this is true only of those who have become sons of the Father, " Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father."" Eze. 36:26 tells us of the supernatural work that God does for those who believe, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." But, God is not in the heart of EVERY man! I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran
