Someone Is Knocking At Your Heart's
Door
Prepared by Max Walker
|
| I. Who Is Knocking? |
|
|
 |
The Bible
Says: "Behold I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear my voice
and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him and he
with me." Revelation 3:20.
|
|
That Means:
At some time in every life Jesus Christ knocks at the door. The line
of communication between God and man is such that one knows the knock is
Jesus. For some it may come early and for some later but the knock will
come to all as Jesus seeks to enter every life. |
|
| II. Why Does Jesus Knock? |
|
|
|
The Bible
Says: "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans
3:23.
|
|
That Means:
Everyone has fallen short of what God expects of them.
|
|
The Bible
Says: "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to
his own way." Isaiah 53:6.
|
|
That Means:
Everyone is self-willed and rebellious toward God.
|
|
The Bible
Says: "Your iniquities have separated between you and your God."
Isaiah 59:2.
|
|
That Means:
Your sins have formed a barrier between you and God.
|
|
The Bible
Says: "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting
life." John 3:16.
|
|
That Means:
God loves you in spite of your sins and sent His only beloved Son to
die for you that you could be saved. Jesus is knocking at your heart's
door because you have sinned against God and He wants to come into your
life and to save you from your sins now. |
|
| III. What Will You Do About His
Knock? |
|
|
The Bible
Says: "It is time to seek the Lord." Hosea 10:12
|
|
That Means:
You can be saved this very moment. Now is the time to open the door of
your heart and Jesus will come in.
|
|
The Bible
Says: "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is
your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then
vanisheth away." James 4:14.
|
|
That Means:
Due to the uncertainty of life it is dangerous not to open your heart
to Jesus today.
|
|
The Bible
Says: "Repent of your sins." Luke 13:3.
|
|
That Means:
Unless you are sorry for your sins against God and are willing to turn
from your sins and follow Jesus you will be lost in your sins forever.
|
|
The Bible
Says: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved." Acts 16:31.
|
|
That Means:
If you will answer the knock of Jesus at your heart's door and believe
on Him, He will save you from your sins right this very moment.
|
|
The Bible
Says: "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans 10:13.
|
|
That Means:
If you will ask Jesus to save you and trust in Him, He sill save you
now.
|
I ask you now to
receive Christ into your life. Let me suggest a prayer for you.
Lord, I confess my sins unto you and at this moment ask
you to come into my life and to cleanse me from my sins. Thank you Lord
for fulfilling your promise to save me. Lord, I also ask you to help me
live for you. |
| IV. What Should You Do After
Opening Your Heart's Door To Jesus? |
|
|
|
The Bible
Says: "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe
in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead thou shall be
saved.' Romans 10:9.
|
|
That Means:
It is important to confess Jesus before others. One of the best ways
is to go before others and acknowledge that you have trusted in Him and
that you are not ashamed of Him.
|
|
The Bible
Says: "Christ loved the church and gave himself for it." Ephesians
5:25.
|
|
That Means:
As a Christian you should seek to join yourself to the body of Christ
which is the church.
|
|
The Bible
Says: "Repent and be baptized." Acts 2:38.
|
|
That Means:
When you open your heart to Jesus and believe on Him that you should
follow Him in Scriptural baptism. Any Bible believing church will require
baptism for membership. |
