It’s no ordinary door
The entrance into the Eternal is more than a fabulous pearly gate. 1
The Threshold
Heaven is God’s Home, and thus, naturally requires permission to enter. We absolutely need a Savior — to cross over to God’s side, Heaven.
The reality there is: The threshold to the Door of Heaven will not ever have unforgiven sinners cross over it. Not one. That is just the way God is. He is Holy, and we are not. There is a Heavenly Decree against us.
Heavenly Decree Against Us
You must be born again by the Spirit of God — to be granted entrance there. Otherwise, the grim reaper escorts you to that other place.
See:
| Flesh and blood absolutely cannot inherit the Kingdom of God |
| Passing on through to the other side |
| The other side |
v4 …the sheep follow him because they know his voice and recognize his call.…
v6 Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what He was talking about.
I am the Door – John 10:7-9
7 So Jesus said again,
“I assure you and most solemnly say to you,
I am 2 [a]the Door for the sheep [leading to life].
8 All who came before Me [as false messiahs and self-appointed leaders] are thieves and robbers, but the [true] sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the Door; anyone who enters through Me will be saved [and will live forever], and will go in and out [freely], and find pasture (spiritual security).
The Warning…The Door will soon shut and lock
In Acts 26:18 the Apostle Paul shared Jesus’ message of salvation. John, the disciple, in his book of John, wrote: Jesus Himself is The Door into Heaven (John 10:7-9).
Only Jesus saves sinners. And He saves us for all eternity – starting from that moment in time when we “turn….” Believers then begin growing in their new natural life in Christ.
Heaven’s Gate will soon shut and lock (Matthew 25:10-13). Do you have your entrance secured yet?
Turn to Jesus. He said, “I give them eternal life”.

- Transporting in Heaven: As Jesus did in His extraordinary resurrected body, which we all will have throughout eternity, we will have the ability to transport (way better than on Captain Kirk’s Enterprise). Without using the door, Jesus suddenly appeared to the disciples.
