Get God's Free Gift Of Eternal Life: Heaven's Door Is Wide Open—Put Down The Pick Axes, Grappling Hooks, Shovels And Jack Hammers

Heaven's Door Is Wide Open—Put Down The Pick Axes, Grappling Hooks, Shovels And Jack Hammers

John 10:1, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.”

While I was listening to Alexander Scourby reading the King James Bible from 2nd Samuel, and laying down resting in my chronic neck pain today, the Lord impressed a truth upon my heart from my website. One of my young children drew a picture many years ago that is worth a thousand words. I'm glad that I scanned and saved the picture. Truly, “Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?” (Matthew 21:16b).

The classic picture (shown below) shows the Jehovah's Witnesses trying to break into Heaven using jack hammers. Then it shows the Seventh Day Adventists trying to scale Heaven's walls to break into the celestial city with grappling hooks. And then the picture shows Roman Catholics trying to break through the roof with pick axes. And still others are attempting to use water (Baptismal Regeneration), thinking it will help them to break into the heavenly city. Ah, but what they all fail to realize is that THE DOOR IS WIDE OPEN!!!

The Door Is Wide Open! Everyone Is Welcome! Eternal Life Is Free!

Romans 10:3-4, “For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.”

The above awesome picture warms my heart just looking at it, first to know that my daughter understands this depth of the simplicity of salvation, but also because it silently refutes every Lordship Salvationist, every Mormon, every Catholic, every Muslim, every false religion in the world. They could enter through the pearly gates for free, but they are trying to climb up and break into Heaven “SOME OTHER WAY” as “a thief and a robber” the Bible calls them (John 10:1, our text verse). Jesus said in Luke 24:25, “O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken.” Jesus is THE DOOR (John 10:9). Amen!

Folks, THE DOOR TO HEAVEN IS WIDE OPEN!!! The Bible proclaims that eternal life is a free gift (Romans 5:15; Ephesians 2:8-9), paid for by the literal, liquid, precious, blood of Jesus (1st Peter 1:18-19; Romans 5:9) that He sprinkled upon the Mercy Seat (Hebrews 12:24) in the heavenly Holy Place (Hebrews 9:12) in the presence of God the Father on our behalf (Hebrews 9:24). Jesus' blood was THE PRICE and the heavenly Mercy Seat was THE PLACE.

All you Lordship Salvation heretics telling people to intent to reform, cease from sinful bad habits, and turn away from a life of sin to receive the free gift of God, PUT DOWN YOUR JACK HAMMERS! PUT DOWN YOUR SHOVELS! THE DOOR IS WIDE OPEN!!! Jesus paid it all! Eternal life is a GIFT from God! A gift is free, with no obligations.

Anytime that someone misled in your church, or a wayward friend, or a confused total stranger, starts talking about needing something more than childlike faith in the gospel to be saved, you just start talking about the Biblical doctrines of THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE and THE IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD and remind them that the satanic, Masonic, religious cults agree with Lordship Salvationists 100% concerning their unbiblical views on repentance . . .

Only the simple, unhampered, unmolested, uncorrupted, preserved, inerrant, inspired, pure Words of God in the King James Bible uphold the SIMPLICITY OF SALVATION by faith alone in the cross of Christ Jesus upon which He died for our sins, was buried, and then resurrected from the dead three days later. Salvation is as simple as walking through a door (John 10:1,9). Salvation is as simple as drinking a cup of water (John 4:14). Salvation is as simple as eating a piece of bread (John 6:51). Anyone who receives the gospel as full payment for their sins has eternal life.

I was thinking today about two men in the Old Testament whom God killed. One man was killed for picking up sticks on the Sabbath Day. The other man was killed for touching the Ark Of The Covenant, which contained the Word of God. Do you know why God justly killed both of those men? The Sabbath Day was a type of Jesus Christ, in whom we REST COMPLETELY for redemption. Today, Jesus is our Sabbath, in Whom we rest for salvation (Hebrews 4:1-11). By collecting sticks on the Sabbath, it symbolized adding human effort (works) to Christ's finished work of redemption at the Mercy Seat in Heaven. Salvation is of the Lord, totally and completely, and man has no part in God's work of salvation. You can learn MUCH more about this important subject in Dr. Jack Hyles' awesome free online book titled, 'SALVATION IS MORE THAN BEING SAVED.'

The Ark Of The Covenant contained the stone tablets of the law of God (the Word of God), the golden pot of manna and Aaron's budded rod. God killed that man for touching the Ark, even though he sincerely was only trying to steady the ark from tipping over (because he saw it swaying back and forth) to let His people know (and let the entire world know) that no one must ever tamper with the Word of God. The Hebrews were forbidden on pain of death from touching the Ark Of The Covenant. God's Words are INCORRUPTIBLE the Bible says in 1st Peter 1:23. When men change the Word of God into a lie (Romans 1:25), they bring swift destruction and damnation upon themselves.

So we learn that God particularly killed these two men in the Bible, one for adding works to salvation and the other for corrupting the Word of God.

It's Not The Shedding Of Jesus' Blood That Saves, But The 'SPRINKLING' Of That Shed Blood

I am reminded of the true story of a minister who visited an elderly lady. Her son had been away in the military on foreign soil for many years. When asked if she ever heard from her son, she said, “No, but he's been sending me these stamps every month, and I papered them on my wall to remind me of him.” They weren't stamps, but foreign money. That little ole lady was wealthy and didn't even realize it, sitting on tens-of-thousands of dollars, which back then in World War II was worth $100,000 in today's money.

In that same way, every human being has the wealth of Heaven, the universe, and eternal life available to them, simply for the taking by faith in Christ, but they don't realize what they're missing (and are going to miss), because Satan hath blinded them (2nd Corinthians 4:4). Romans 8:32 says that if God was willing to give up His only begotten Son for us, how much more shall he FREELY give us all things! God is good! I wouldn't want to miss out on Heaven for anything, and being with Jesus forever in sweet fellowship; but I certainly DO want to miss Hellfire, and have God's promise that I will never go there, because Jesus paid for my sins with His precious blood. I love you Jesus, my God and my Redeemer! Job 19:25, “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.” God is so awesome, freely giving us eternal life just for the taking!

Oh, how I desire to proclaim the Biblical truth of the simplicity of salvation by faith alone in Jesus Christ, Who died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and then was miraculously resurrected from the dead after three days. Heaven's Door Is Wide Open—Put Down The Pick Axes, Grappling Hooks, Shovels and The Jack Hammers! You don't have to CLIMB UP SOME OTHER WAY (John 10:1) to get into Heaven my friend, for the pearly gates are wide open and Christ Himself is waiting there to lovingly receive you if you'll come to Him now by faith. As ironic as it may seem, the surest way to miss out on Heaven is TO TRY TO GO THERE!

There are only two basic types of religion in the world: DO and DONE! Either you have been taught a lie and believe that you must DO something to get to Heaven; or else you simply rest in Jesus Christ who paid your ticket (Hebrews 4:1-11), accepting the Biblical truth that your payment to get to Heaven is DONE. Please read, Repentance And Faith.

THE DOOR TO HEAVEN IS WIDE OPEN, COME ON IN BY FAITH IN THE GOSPEL!!! JESUS IS THE DOOR!

Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

They Knew Not Until The Flood Came

Luke 17:26-27, “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.”

We're Saved By God's Righteousness, Not Ours

Before salvation we are known by our sins, but after salvation we are identified with the righteousness of Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ took all our sin at the cross and now we have the privilege to have His righteous record placed on our account by childlike faith!

Repentance unto salvation is turning to Jesus, not turning from sins.

Inspiring Preacher Quotes

“The law tells me how crooked I am. Grace comes along and straightens me out.” —Evangelist Billy Sunday (1862-1935)

“I never thought, I'd see a day when Baptist preachers would not preach the true Gospel. Tonight, all across this nation, Baptist preachers have succumbed to the heresy of John MacArthur. I said the heresy of John MacArthur! I said the heresy of John MacArthur! And somebody that's got several thousand people to hear 'em, who can go across this country, has got to alert Baptists that we have false teachers in our midst who are no longer teaching and preaching salvation by grace through faith plus nothing. Folks, we're fighting for our lives tonight!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, "A Vote For Preaching"

“The ‘whosoever wills’ are the elect and the ‘whosoever won’ts,’ the non-elect.” —Pastor Dwight L. Moody (1837-1899)

“Salvation is one thing and service is another, and never the two goes together. No man is saved because he serves, and no man has to serve because he is saved. Gotta keep them separate. And if you don't do it, the Scriptures will be confusing to you. You'll not rightly divide what God has to say.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, "Why Lordship Salvation Is Wrong"

“It is 'Good News' if no one must have good works before salvation, or after salvation. For salvation to truly be by grace, it must not have any stipulations of any kind at any time. Works before, during or after; works cannot be evidence of my salvation.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, "Does Calvinism Change The Gospel?"

"The LAW and the GOSPEL are two keys—the law is the key that shuteth up all men under condemnation, and the Gospel is the key which opens the door and lets them out. Remember this, if you're depending upon your own good works to get you to Heaven, you're lost! Your salvation had to be purchased with something that was incorruptible, with the precious blood of Jesus Christ!” —Pastor Ralph 'Yankee' Arnold, Bibleline Radio Show, "The Precious Blood Of Christ"

“Works cannot be the evidence of salvation. If works are required as evidence, then they will prove that you are not saved. Your good works cannot prove you're saved; they can only prove that you're not, if you go by works. Why? Because you have to be perfect. So your works can only prove you're not saved. You have to live a perfect life. 'Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.' You have to fulfill everything that is commanded, that you have to do them. You know that good works did not save you!” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, "Once Saved Always Saved: The Final Word"

“If all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags, then why would you use those rags to prove that you're saved?” —Pastor Ralph 'Yankee' Arnold, sermon quote: "How Do I Know God Really Loves Me? - Part 2"

“The mistake the church has made, is we have taught people how to quote Scriptures, we haven't taught people how to love people!” —Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr. (a beautiful quote from the sermon titled: "Developing A Process of Evangelism To Reach The Lost With The Gospel"

“May I ask you, reader, 'Are you a soulwinner?' Remember that a soulwinner is a salvager—one who leads a sinner to choose Christ and one who leads a saint to choose the will of God, the work of God and the plan of God.” ―Pastor Jack Hyles, "What Is Salvation?"

“Redemption is a work of God the Son. Regeneration is the work of God the Holy Spirit. Justification is the work of God the Father as He declares the sinner righteous in the Son. Conversion then becomes the work of the church as we change the use and purpose of a life.” ―Pastor Jack Hyles, "Conversion And Salvation" (chapter 3) from his book: "Salvation Is More Than Being Saved"

“If you do not put a difference between justification wrought by the man Christ without and sanctification wrought by the Spirit of Christ within, you are not able to divide the Word aright; but contrariwise, you corrupt the Word of God, and cast stumbling blocks before the people.” —Evangelist John Bunyan (1628-1688)

“I'm as happy as a June Bug on the 31st of May!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, "The Rapture Comes Before Armageddon"

“Many people are finding the broad way, because they listen to the wrong message. There is few that find the truth. And what's the difference between true Christianity, and all the religions of the world? If it's by Christ alone, it's GRACE. If you have anything to do with it, it's WORKS. And God says, 'For by Grace (Christ) are ye saved, and that not of yourselves (that would be works), it is the gift of God (not of works), lest any man should boast. So any person who depends upon themselves, can always lose their salvation. Check it out! Anybody who teaches you can lose it, it's because their salvation depends upon their works. That's them! That's works! If I depend upon Him, that's grace! I'm saved by grace, Christ. You don't earn it! You don't work for it. 'For by grace are ye saved through faith, that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.' Salvation is the gift of God!” —Pastor Ralph "Yankee" Arnold, a quote from the sermon titled: "The Damnable Doctrine Of The Devil"

“The pastors have destroyed the churches, and they've been trained by people that have never built churches, and they have no compassion.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, "Many Pastors Have Destroyed My Vineyard"

“America needs preaching!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, "Many Pastors Have Destroyed My Vineyard"

“Let God have your life; He can do more with it than you can.” —Dwight L. Moody

"Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith.” —Pastor Max Younce

God will not save anyone who is trying to be saved, He will only save those who are trusting to be saved.

“The darker the night the brighter the stars.” —Pastor Bob Gray Sr.,“She Sojourned Seven Years”

Without Christ you have a hopeless end; with Christ you have an endless hope (Titus 1:2).

The false teaching of "Lordship Salvation" is not the SAME as "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:30-31).

Religion is man trying to reach God through human effort, but Christianity is God trying to reach man by the sacrifice of His only begotten Son on the cross.

“Now you listen to me folks! We're living in a world of compromising Christianity. I call it, 'The yuppie generation building yuppie churches!' Brother, we need the old-time Gospel, the old-time religion, the faith of our fathers, and the standards that America used to have!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, a quote from the sermon, “She Sojourned Seven Years”

“Every word in this Bible is inspired by God almighty!” —Dr. Jack Hyles, a quote from the sermon, “A Friend At Midnight”

“A man doesn't get better to get saved; he gets saved to get better.” —Pastor Curtis Hutson (1934-1995), “Salvation Crystal Clear”

“The greatest enemy you have is a church that doesn't teach the Bible!” —Pastor Max D. Younce, “#1 Salvation THROUGH The Blood”

“Lordship Salvation is the unsupportable and unbiblical belief that the performance of good works, the promise of good works, or the evidence of good works, must accompany faith in Christ to establish or provide evidence that such faith has resulted in eternal life.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, “Jesus Versus John MacArthur”

“If you're not being persecuted, you're not living right!” —Pastor Danny Castle, “How To Behave In Perilous Times”

“You know what you need to do with your life? You need to get on the ball and take as many people out of here to Heaven with you as you can possibly round up. That's what you need to do.” —Pastor Danny Castle, “How To Behave In Perilous Times”

“God had no children too weak, but a great many too strong to make use of.” —Pastor Dwight L. Moody (1836-1899)

“More people will die and burn in Hell, because they're trusting too much!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, a precious quote from the MP3 sermon, “Yea, Yea, And Nay, Nay!”

“Everything that's hard and complicated about salvation is God's side of it!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, a precious quote from the MP3 sermon, “Yea, Yea, And Nay, Nay!”

The true Gospel always points you to CHRIST; a false gospel always points to YOU.

Salvation is not a reward for the righteous, it is a gift for the guilty!

“See, when you trusted Christ, He delivered you from the PENALTY [of sin]. You never have to pay for it again. Now that you are saved, He wants to save you from the very POWER of sin in your life. And then one day, He's going to deliver us from the very PRESENCE of sin.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, “Sanctification Explained”

“We ought to realize our standing with God as sons and daughters. He will not "un-child" His children. God has not only adopted us, but we are His by birth; we have been born into His kingdom. The children of God are not perfect, but we are perfectly His children.” —Pastor Dwight L. Moody

Bible repentance is a change of mind from denying THE TRUTH “to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will” (2nd Timothy 2:25-26).

“Faith without works is DEAD FAITH; and works without faith is DEAD WORKS.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Repentance And Faith”

“Which comes first, repentance or faith? In Scripture we read, 'Repent ye, and believe the gospel.' Yet we find true believers exhorted to 'repent, and do the first works.' So intimately are the two related that you cannot have one without the other. The man who believes God repents; the repentant soul puts his trust in the Lord when the Gospel is revealed to him. Theologians may wrangle over this, but the fact is, no man repents until the Holy Spirit produces repentance in his soul through the truth. No man believes the Gospel and rests in it for his own salvation until he has judged himself as a needy sinner before God. And this is repentance.” (Except Ye Repent, p. 16)
