The Door

These words were spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
A door means the way into some place. So the way to be saved is to believe in Jesus. He is such a wonderful Saviour, that the Bible tells us that “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Rom. 10:1313For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13).
No matter how wonderful the inside of a building is, you cannot get in to enjoy it unless you enter in through the door.
I was standing outside a large building once, and a gentleman came up and asked me where the door was. When I told him, all he did was to thank me and walk away. I suppose he meant to come back later, but God does not want you to come back later. He wants you to come to the Saviour now. For He tells us that “Now is the accepted time... now is the day of salvation.” 2 Cor. 6:22(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) (2 Corinthians 6:2).
Another thing about it is that to put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ is the only way into blessing. If I left my front door wide open for you to come in, and then found you trying to climb in through the window or some other way, I should be very vexed.
God says, “Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is NONE OTHER NAME... whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:1212Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12).
