Isaiah 19:21 And the Lord will make himself known

The rest of Isiaah 19:21 is superfluous, He will make Himself known to those whom He is calling.

Genesis 18:19 For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring to Abraham what he has promised him.

And what was that promise?

Genesis 12:3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

We only need to wait on Him.

Isaiah 30:18 Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.

So we wait.

Matthew 3:2 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Is it really that simple? Can I enter the kingdom of heaven by simply repenting?

Matthew 5:20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Mark 10:24 And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how difficult it is to enter the kingdom of God!

John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”

Nicodemus asked  “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”

That is a world view of rebirth, always depending on human effort to accomplish spiritual goals.

Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Many look to repentance and baptism as the key to unlocking the door to the kingdom. Once again, that is falling short of entering.

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

When Jesus knocks at the door to your heart we must open the door and invite Him in and have that covenant meal.

Do you hear His voice at the door?
