Knocking On The Door

Matthew 7:7-8---Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

You can believe Christ was the Son of God, believe He died on the Cross for you personally, and believe He rose again on the third day. You can believe these truths in an objective way just as you can believe it is now 65 degrees outside because you can read an outdoor thermometer. You can believe these truths, but will you take other steps on your faith journey? Will you begin to dig deep into the love and truth of your Christian faith? Will you seek, ask, and knock for the rest of your life? According to the words of Jesus, there is a spiritual door within you. You have the power and the decision-making ability to open this spiritual door or you have the power to leave the door closed. Clearly, Jesus is putting the responsibility for action upon you by telling you to ask, seek, and knock on your spiritual door. Like a physical door, people can give a few tiny taps on this spiritual door and quickly walk away. People can pound for a long time on this door. People can knock on this door and not really want to be there. When this door is finally opened some people may get frightened and back off and run away. However, if you remain, the door will be opened and He will welcome you, talk with you, and be with you.
