“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me” (Rev. 3:20). What a powerful picture! Christ stands at the heart’s door of every believer. Our Savior desires a closer, deeper relationship with His people; He wants to dwell with us.

This image of the door of our heart is one of many mentions of doors and gates in Scripture—our study in this month’s Today in the Word. We pray that as we explore this topic—from Jacob’s dream and the gate to Heaven in Genesis all the way to the image of the New Jerusalem’s gates in Revelation—you’ll grow in your relationship with Christ and better understand:

• The significance of doors and gates in Scripture
• How to connect these images with the truth of salvation in Christ
• Our need to hear Christ’s voice and follow Him as the only “gate for the sheep” (John 10:7)
• God’s invitation to deeper fellowship with Him (Rev. 3:20)

Thank you for your support of the ministry of Today in the Word! Your partnership is vital as we bring the Word of God to thousands of people around the world, helping them open their hearts and lives to “the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6).
