John 14:6- “I (Jesus) am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
I rummage around in the console of my car for the remote control. One push of the button and the gate slowly opens, admitting me to the neighborhood. Whether operating by a gate code, a special sticker on the car’s front window, or a “clicker”, I’m sure those of you living in gated communities understand if I confess that I still sigh with relief when the gate “recognizes” me and swings wide, granting access to my home.
I am speaking about my earthly home, of course.
But, what about my heavenly home? 
Is it true that some will be admitted to heaven, while others will be turned away?
According to this verse from the book of John, the only access to God and heaven comes through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.
Christians find peace for their souls and reassurance of eternal life in heaven as they trust Jesus as Savior.
My heart aches for those who have not put their trust in Christ—those who will be turned away at the gate.
Don’t read this and think, “I’m a good person. Surely, God isn’t speaking about me.”
The Bible says that God is not a “respecter of persons.” His laws apply to everyone, no matter their age, nationality, or earthly notoriety.
You may be beautiful in the eyes of the world. You may be smart, generous, and kind to others. You may be a hard worker, a good son or daughter, but if God cannot look at you and see his Son, then you will be left standing alone outside the gate.
YOU are the very reason I write this blog each week.
I pray that you will consider John 14:6 and that, in Christ, you will find the way to your eternal home.
