By whom, in whom and through whom
Faith will always open the right door for the true believer in Jesus Christ. Our faith is in God. And we know that John 1:1-2, tells us that, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.” In verse 14 it reads, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelth among us.” God that became flesh was Jesus Christ, born of Virgin Mary.
According to John 10:9, Jesus said, “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 only door out of this world and life of sin is the Word, God that became flesh. Jesus said, if any man enter through this door he shall be saved. Saved from sin that has separated man from God. If you are saved, it means you are delivered from the damnation of hell and the lake of fire; and reconciled to God. This is only possible by, in and through Jesus Christ; the Word that is God and that became flesh; and died on the Cross of Calvary.
Rom. 4:25, states, “Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.” And in Rom. 5:1-2, it reads, “Therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” “And we know that all things work together for good (including salvation) to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified,” (Rom. 8:28-30).
If you are saved, then by faith of Jesus Christ we are justified and have peace with God and have access by the same faith into this grace wherein we stand. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works lest any man should boast, (Eph. 2:8-9). Jesus Christ is the door, the access to God and his promises. If you are not saved, you do not have Jesus Christ, and so you neither have access nor can go through the door. It is Jesus Christ, by whom we have access to God. Jesus said, in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh (access) unto the Father, but by me.” Do you have this access?
According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him,” (Eph. 3:11-12). Come boldly to throne of grace by this access, The Lord Jesus Christ. For in Heb.4:16, it says, “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” The only access is Jesus Christ. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. He is the only access we have as believers. But you must be born again to have this access.
Eph. 2:18, states, “For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.” Jesus Christ paid the price with his own life. God came and tested death for man to give man an open door, (access). That whosoever will may come and drinking from the fountain of the river of the water of life freely. Rom. 8:9-15, states, “That if any man have not the Spirit of Christ his is none of his.” In verse 14-15 it states, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God; For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption whereby we cry (access), Abba Father.” Who according to Heb. 5:7-9), “In the days of his flesh, (The Word, that was God and the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us) when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey (access) him.” Jesus Christ the Word that became flesh is the only access to the eternal, immortality. By him, in him and through him, and only through being born again can we have access to immortality, eternal life and the promises of God; including approaching the throne of grace. If you miss or reject this access, there is only a one way ticket, to the lake of fire left as the only alternative. But why must you die and be separated from God, for denying or rejecting Jesus Christ the Lord; the only door and access.
