John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

Yesterday I said faith is the key. Those two who were changed placed their faith in Christ. Faith is the key to unlocking the door, Jesus Christ, and allowing Him into your heart. Sounds easy enough, but is it really all that easy?

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Faith is how we hear God. Think of faith as the language of the Spirit. God is Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit instructs us in all things. These instructions, are they written in English, French, German, and Chinese or are they written upon your heart by He who has taken up residence in your heart?

Hearing words is a process of the spoken language. If you have not learned but one language, can you understand another who speaks fluent languages you do not know? Of course not.

Finding this key of faith has to be as difficult as finding a treasure without a map. Guess what, He provided a map. It is called the Good News, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and it will lead you to find the key of faith.

Matthew 13:23a But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it;

The good ground is one that has been prepared to receive the seed. The Gospel is the seed, your heart is the good ground but it first needs to be broken.

Psalm 34:18, 51:17 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
