Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
-Matthew 5:11-12
John 14:6 NKJV Jesus said to him " I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me."-----------------------------------------------------If you were told about a beautiful resort with a mansion to stay in, and a river running through the land, would you be interested in hearing more about it? If you found out that it is all inclusive, all expenses paid, would you want to know where it is? If you were told that it is part of of a free gift that anyone can have, would you ask how do i get it? Revelation Chapter 21 gives us a picture of this place- this New Jerusalem. A place with walls made of precious stones, streets of pure gold, and gates made of pearl. A place where there will be no more tears, no more death, no more sorrow, no more crying, no more pain. Our eternal home as believers is beyond our imagination. We will be free to become all that God created us to be- to His praise and Glory. And best of all, we will get to enjoy fellowship with our Lord and Savior forever. It will be a wonderful place to dwell, But there is only one way to get there from here. Jesus paid the price, Jesus built the bridge for us. [ John 3:16] " for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."------------- Jesus died on the cross for our sins ; Past, present, and future. If you have never trusted Jesus as your personal savior, you are missing out on a promise of a better life in heaven. Call out to Him wherever you are- He will meet you there. Admit that you are a sinner [ Romans 3:23] " for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."-------- Confess your sin [ 1 John 1:9] " if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."------ Repent or turn from sin, Proclaim that Jesus is Lord and you will be saved. [ Romans 10: 9,10,13] " that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. v.13 for whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."---------- Christ's sacrifice on the cross was enough to save everyone ; But we have to make the choice to accept the gift, or to reject the gift. I hope you will accept it now- before it is too late. [ 2 Peter 3:9] " The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."-////

The Church of the Open Door was conceived by R. A. Torrey who had come to Los Angeles to start a Bible institute (now known as Biola University) similar to Moody Bible Institute. The church was to be strictly non-denominational, though Evangelical. Its purpose was to reach the lost of Los Angeles, which was reflected in the name based on two passages of Scripture: John 10:9 and Revelation 3:8. Other pastors have included Louis T. Talbot (1932–1948) and J. Vernon McGee (1949–1970). The current Pastor is Ed Underwood.
For 70 years the church was located in downtown Los Angeles on Hope Street. It relocated to Glendora, California in 1985.

The original church building was located in downtown Los Angeles and was demolished in the late 1980s. Despite efforts led by the late William Eugene Scott to prevent the building from being sold to developers and to have the building saved as a historic landmark, the building could not be saved because it was so damaged in the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake that it was declared unsafe and the cost of repairs deemed prohibitive. The historic "Jesus Saves" sign from the original building can now be seen atop the Ace Hotel Los Angeles. It was relocated there by the late William Eugene Scott who took it with him when his church (Los Angeles University Cathedral) relocated following the earthquake.

The fear of the Lord leads to life;
then one rests content, untouched by trouble.
[Proverbs 19:23 NIV]
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
