Jesus' Invitation

REVELATION 3:20 NKJ 20 “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

Most people think this verse is directed to non-believers. Not so. Jesus was talking to those already in the church.

How sad!

This is the Lord, the Head of the church, speaking to His own people. “If you will open up to Me, we will enjoy times of fellowship.”

God desires your fellowship. He wants you to spend time with Him. But He invites – He never forces.

We enjoy the presence of those who love us, especially when we also love them. God loves you more than anyone else does. So, you shouldn’t need to be forced, or talked into, spending time in fellowship with God.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:9 NIV 9 God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.

God has called you. You must choose whether to answer.

Who would you rather know than God?

Spending time with someone is the way you get to know them. You begin to know what they like and dislike, and how they think. When you spend time with the Lord in His Word and prayer, you get to know Him.

Spending time with someone is the only way to build a relationship.

SAY THIS: Jesus, I open up the door to You!

Glorify God In Death

ECCLESIASTES 3:1-2 KJV 1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; Death is a part of life we cannot escape. The Bible does not say a certain time has been determined for you to die. It says it has been appointed for us to die once. After death there will be judgment (not reincarnation.) HEBREWS 9:27 KJV 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: There is a time to die. When you have lived a full life, then it is time to face death. It is also a good time to die when you can glorify God by your death. Too many people think life is to be grasped at any cost. Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s, and we should seek to glorify Him and please Him. JOHN 21:19 KJV 19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. ROMANS 14:
