Unlimited: Through the Door of Faith

Unlimited: Through the Door of Faith

They… reported all that God had done… and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles (Acts 14:27, NIV).

It’s really important to be able to open doors!

I was once about to preach to a packed hall of people in Ukraine and my Russian interpreter was nowhere to be found! You see, he’d gone to the toilet and then found himself locked in! I had to start preaching without him. It was a great message. I said things like “God loves you” in Russian several times because it was one of the only Russian phrases I knew! Finally, my interpreter was able to escape from the toilet and join me.

The Christian message announces that the door to eternal life isn’t made of wood or metal. It is not made of compliance to specified standards of behaviour, and the door to eternal life isn’t made of belief in doctrines.

Jesus is the Door of Faith

True Christianity announces that the door to eternal life is made of faith. Jesus made it clear that he himself is the door of faith:

I am the door; if anyone enters through me, he will be saved (John 10:9, NASB).

How do you enter into salvation through Jesus? You do it by having faith in him:

 He who believes in Me will live (John 11:25).

That’s why “the door of faith” is Jesus Christ himself.

And he isn’t just a door; Christ is an open door for all who believe.

True, Faith and the corresponding actions gives life. It's possible to face challenging situations when your faith is a live. Imagine how Dr. fought so much to defend his faith by preaching to the Ukrainians even when the language seem to be a barrier. I believe we can preach the gospel no matter the impossibilities. Amen and Amen
