This month we look at our final and eternal DESTINY What does the Bible say Heaven will be like and who gets in? |
Revelation 21:25
ON NO DAY WILL ITS GATES BE SHUT
Just like the arms of Jesus! Wide open!
Jesus always welcomes us with open arms. So, too, the city will always have its gates open. Anyone and everyone may enter at any time. God has already "dealt with" satan, the wicked and death - so there is nothing to harm, rob or spoil now - so there is no need to shut the gates by day, because we are totally secure at all times. Also, as there is no night there, neither is there any need to shut them for protection during the night.
No, they are just symbolic of the extent of the city and that all may freely come in. The days are no different, so they don't shut the gates on some days and leave them open on others - no, they are always open.
They remind us that our contact and entrance to God is always open, always freely available. God doesn't change. Even here in Heaven, He is still always available, and nothing and no one will stand in the way of us entering into His presence at any time.
There is no one and certainly no god like our God! He is always ready to receive His loved ones. Never do we need to make an appointment; achieve a certain status; improve our thought patterns or prove our suitability. He answers the prayers of the poor and needy and humble in spirit. Those who know they are nothing without Him and His grace. Those who cry for help, He answers immediately, and totally unconditionally.
He will respond each time we draw near to Him and that doesn't change in Heaven either, for on no day will its gates be shut.
