Must Receive Christ
“Listen! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and have dinner with him, and he with Me.”
Revelation 3:20 HCSB
Jesus is speaking to John, in Revelation, to the church, that we are to welcome Jesus into our life. There is a simple read called “My Heart Christ’s Home” in which Jesus is walking through the author’s heart like he was showing off his home. Some doors were opened to Jesus and doors were closed. Jesus never forced his way in any doors but promised that one day he would open them up to Him. For the believer, we must be willing to confess everything to Him and open up the door to Him. For the person who is not a Christian, yet, we must be willing to open our hearts to Him. If you are doubting spend time reading the Bible and start in John for a glimpse of how much He loves you.
“But to all who did receive Him, He gave them the right to be children of God, to those who believe in His name,”
In John 1 we find that those who receive Jesus become Children of God. Children not born of a human decision but from the Spirit of God taking ownership of our spirit.
“and told him, “Everyone sets out the fine wine first, then, after people have drunk freely, the inferior. But you have kept the fine wine until now.”
In John 2 we find Jesus making water into wine and He made a better wine than was served at first. This new wine was poured out on all disciples in Acts 2 and is waiting for all believers to welcome Him in.
“For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.”
In John 3 we find the love of God that He gave up Jesus for three days to have all of us in fellowship with Him for all eternity.
Take the rest of the 18 chapters of John and find out how much God the Father, Jesus the Son, and The Holy Spirit love you!
You must receive Jesus to experience all the love They have for you!
