Opening The Door to Heaven
Type of Event: Worship Service: Family (may include music)
Date Recorded: April 30, 2017
Location: West Concord, MA
Topics: Spiritual Freedom
This morning we are having a family service, which means that the children are invited to stay for the entire service. The talk will be directed mainly to the children, but will include a message that we can all benefit from.
In the book of Revelation the Lord gives messages to seven churches. Today we will read the message He gives to the church in Philadelphia. In this message the Lord speaks of an open door that no one is able to shut.
According to the Heavenly Doctrines, we always have the choice to either open a door that leads to hell, or a door that leads to heaven. How doe we open the door that leads to heaven? How do we keep the door that leads to hell shut? In the message to the church in Philadelphia the Lord explains why He is able to place before them an open door to heaven:
1. Because you have little power: You know you can do nothing from yourself.
2. Because you have kept My Word: You live according to the Lord's commandments.
3. Because you have not denied My Name: You are in the worship of the Lord.
Everyday you have the choice to either open a doorway that leads to hell, or a doorway that leads to heaven. Which will you choose?
Recitation:
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him and will sup with him, and he with Me." (Revelation 3:20)
