Many people who ask Jesus to be their Lord and Savior stop there. Grateful and relieved to have their sins forgiven with the hope and promise of Heaven, they never go beyond their Salvation experience to understand how Jesus is the Way to have a close and personal relationship with our Heavenly Father.
But as wonderful as being freed from sin’s grip, God doesn’t want us to stop there because Jesus is the door, the gate to knowing Him as Father.
John 10:9, “I am the gate; whoever enters through Me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.”
Likewise, John 6:44 explains how God the Father is the reason, the drawing force to why we are able to invite Jesus into our lives and receive eternal life, as “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
