The Door To Everlasting Life Part 1

Hello World:
St. John Chapter 14: Verse 6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me."

I reviewed some information from somewhere on the internet, not being specific, because there is no need to be. However, in that information, a person who is a born-again Christian , had a section where they would lead people to pray a prayer to get saved-born-again, gain salvation or everlasting life. At the beginning of the prayer they prompt people to pray Heavenly Father, I am a sinner, I need to be saved, etc. Well, this is not exactly the proper way, to pray for salvation.

I am sorry to sound picky. The Lord told me a little while back that on "some" things, He is not concerned or stuck up with semantics, or a play on words, so long as the person trying to communicate is sincere and pure in their heart. In many ways, this applies to His names. I will most likely discuss that at another time. However, the non-concern with semantics does not apply here to the prayer for salvation. The Lord told me I need to teach, again, on the proper protocol of how a person, who is a sinner or unsaved, should pray to get saved.

The person who presented the salvation prayer with Heavenly Father, meant no harm; and other Christians do this unaware, that it is not the right protocol. Also, when I use the word "protocol", I am talking about a diplomatic way of negotiation, or proper way to present a matter of importance. In this case, the protocol is the proper way to negotiate salvation for one's soul. This is extremely important.

So, this is why I have present scriptures here, to show specifically what is from the Word of God, and What Jesus, the author of our salvation, says. First if you are a sinner or unsaved, which all of us are or have been at some point including MYSELF, you can not address or are "not approved yet" to call God our Heavenly Father.
He is everybody's God, whether some want to accept Him as so or not, but He is absolutely, for certain, definitely not everybody's Heavenly Father yet. Notice how I say "yet".

You or I when we pray to God for salvation should not call Him our Father. We can call Him God, but not "yet" Father or Heavenly Father. We all first, "MUST" or "absolutely have to" go through Jesus. Not around Jesus. There is no round about way to get to Heaven. There is no side opening, or sneak entrance way. Also, when I talk about getting to Heaven, I specifically mean going into Heaven having legitimate residence. In other words, you can go into Heaven, because you rightfully belong there in eternity. I am not talking about temporary visits.

Temporary visits to Heaven are great, excellent. Believe me on that for sure; however, I am talking about going to Heaven where it is forever your place of residence; when God has "welcomed" you and received you as His Child to be with Him forever. To get to that eternal place of bliss and happiness, you must "meet" and "accept" Jesus Christ. This is why Jesus said what He said in St. John 14:6. Jesus is the Way, Truth and Life. Jesus is the Way to the Father or Heavenly Father.

St. John Chapter 10: Verse 7; Then said Jesus unto them again, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep."

Verse 9: " I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out and find pasture."

In St. John 10: verses 7 and 9, Jesus describes Himself as the door. Jesus says He is the door, and if you walk through the door or "Doorway" you will be saved. Remember Jesus is the Way from previous scriptures I presented. Well you take door+way, or combine the two and you get doorway. So, Jesus is the Door, the Way and the Doorway.

Just like if you enter through a house or a room. Generally, you do not enter through a window, or come crashing through the window. Also, to enter a house or room, normally you do not enter through a chimney or go through a wall. There is a proper way to enter a place. To enter into a "solid foundation" you normally enter through a door or some kind of doorway. When you accept Jesus as your Savior, He becomes your firm foundation. He is your Solid Rock or Foundation.

You can rest and be confident because Jesus has saved your soul, He is strong beyond measure to protect your soul, and He gives you everlasting life with God Almighty. So, again to enter into everlasting life in Heaven and meet the Father, you must go through the Door, Jesus Christ, by accepting Him into your heart.
