Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before Me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth His life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. (Joh 10:7-13)
Jesus Christ is the only way of Salvation, the only path to the Father, the only true righteousness, in this life and the next. ALL others that come, with another way, another gospel, or adding to what Christ has done, are false, thieving, hirelings who keep people from finding joy, peace, and grace in Christ Jesus. Jesus gave His life for our sins, to pay our debt, that we might have life in Him, and be reconciled with the Father. He is the only hope for us in this world and the next.
To enter into His rest, we all must go through Him, the door to the sheepfold, whether you are of this sheepfold, the Jews, or of the other, the Gentiles, you must enter through faith in Jesus Christ and His finished and perfect work of the Cross of Calvary with repentance and surrender to Him on His terms. That is the only way to GOD the Father. We come to Him by faith in the Son and the power of the Holy Ghost which guides us into all Truth through His Word and gives us life.
Those who are in Christ, who are born again and know Him by a personal relationship through faith and repentance are on mission to be His servants while we are here. We are called, as His ambassadors, to minister to those around us who are hurting and in need as He gives the increase that they may see Jesus in us, the hope of Glory. As His disciples, we are commanded to love one another and to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour through His Word, that all may know we are His disciples. We are commissioned to take GOD's Word and proclaim the Gospel to this lost and dying world, that those who hear and believe the Good News of Jesus Christ might have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
