If you took the time to read this, I would like to talk to you about a very special and important "door"... Who told me about this door? God! He tells us about this door in His Word. It is the one and only door to the best destination of all...Heaven and eternal life!
Jesus said, "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture." John 10:9
Looking back to the Old Testament, do you remember that before the Jews (Israelites) were set free by Pharaoh, they were instructed by God to put blood on their doorposts so the Lord would not judge them, and they would not die that last night? You remember, the last plague was the death of the first born. The first born of every Egyptian died that night, but not one child of the Jews because they listened to and followed God. Exodus 12:7 "And they shall take of the blood (of a lamb), and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it." They put the blood (of a perfect lamb) on the door frame of their houses! The perfect innocent lamb represented Jesus, the blood represented His blood and His sacrifice for our sin, and the door itself represented Jesus as the only access to Heaven and the way to enter in to life! God's Word also tells us that His blood "covers" our sin! That makes me think of how, during an earthquake, people are often told to stand in the doorway of their house where it is safe. Ladies, the blood of Jesus is what makes us safe! That is where we need to be...in the door...under the blood!
I can picture Jesus on the cross with His arms spread wide... He is inviting everyone, the whole world, to come to Him for safety! John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." All you have to do is step through the door and your sins will be covered. When God looks at you, He will see you "in" Jesus! You will be accepted as His child. Just go to Him in prayer and ask Him for forgiveness because of what Jesus has already done for you! If you are already "in" Jesus, tell others about how wonderful, forgiving and loving He is! Help them to find their way!
You may want to pray a prayer like this if you wish to start a relationship with Jesus and be saved:
Father, I know there is nothing I can do on my own that will get me to Heaven...I have made many mistakes in my life and I am not perfect and without sin...But I know that You say in Your Word that I am to ask Jesus for help, that He is the way and He is the door...I know that He died on the cross for MY sins. I am asking You to forgive me, Father, and to help me by becoming MY Father...I want to be "in" Jesus and be a part of Your family! Jesus, please come and live inside my heart, so that I will be "in" You, and You will be "in" me! Thank you for all You have done! Please help me to read Your Word and grow in my knowledge of You and live a life that is pleasing to You.
