JESUS IS THE DOOR Pt. 2

Jesus the DOOR of Salvation [part 2] JESUS IS THE DOOR-Jesus pointed to HIMSELF as the DOOR. He said "I am the door, if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture."[John 10:9]Jesus also pointed out in John 10:1 that if we do not enter in by the door [the Lord Jesus Christ], we are thieves and robbers. THE HINDERERS-The Bible also speaks of those who do not enter into that door of Salvation [the Lord Jesus Christ], but they also hindered those who were entering in.[Luke 11:52]There are MANY false teachers and organizations who point to their man-made organizations as the doors to enter in for Salvation. By pointing to themselves instead of the Lord Jesus, they hinder many souls from coming in through the DOOR of Salvation, the Lord Jesus.The Lord Jesus says to come to Him all who are heavy laden and weary and He will give you rest. [Matthew 11:28] Won't you run into the Loving and Merciful arms of the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ? Won't you put your faith in His completed work on the cross of Calvary? He is the Door of Salvation, and He wants you to come to Him for Salvation."Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they which testify of me, ye will not come to me that ye might have life." [John 5:39-40] WHAT NOW?-So you may now say, "Ok, I see that I have taken the wrong door", or, "I've tried to climb up some other way"...but what do I do now?The first thing is to humble yourself. "Humble yourself therefore under the Mighty hand of God that he may exault you in due time: casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you."Confess to God that you have sinned against Him by trusting in a man made organization instead of Christ alone. Concider the prayer of the publican that was the prayer that God received [Luke 18:10-14] REPENT-Repentance is a change of mind towards God and sin, that will result in a change of direction and actions.Ezekiel 14:6 says "Thus saith the LORD God; repent and turn yourselves from your idols, and turn away your faces from all your abominations."Put your faith in Christ alone [receive the Lord by faith] There is a Watchtower magazine with the heading "PUT FAITH IN A VICTORIOUS ORGANIZATION"The Bible however never points to an organization, but the person of Christ whom we are to put our faith in.Paul preached 'repentance towards God, and faith in the Lord Jesus' [Acts 20:21] GOD WANTS YOU TO GROW-Ephesians 4:13-15 says "Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the slight of men, and cunning craftiness, where by they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ."*seek out a good Bible believing church in your area. This can be a challenge in and of itself nowdays, but pray and ask the Lord to help you in this search, which body of believers He would have you be a part of. Look for a group who really uphold the Scriptures and love truth. MY PRAYER FOR YOU-May the Lord be with you, and lead, guide, bless and protect you in your new journey in Christ. May you grow in Grace, and learn to discern, and walk in God's perfect will for your life. If you have repented and are trusting Christ alone to save you, welcome to God's Family. Cleave to the Savior, and rest in knowing that He holds you in the palm of His Almighty hand. He is faithful and true. [2 Peter 3:17-18 KJV]
