“For so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
For so an entrance
“Entrance” is literally the road into. Jesus is the road to heaven. John calls Him “the road” (Jn 14:6).
He 10:19-20, “Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh.”
God will welcome us in heaven. Paul spoke of his welcome as imminent (2 Ti 4:7-8,18). He will admit us into His heaven. Each Christian will receive a rich welcome when we enter the gates of heaven.
“So” indicates that our entrance into heaven will be victorious. “So” means “in this way.” Jesus is the way to heaven. He gives us the authority to enter by what He did on the cross for our sins.
PRINCIPLE:
God will supply us with a grand entrance into heaven.
APPLICATION:
Our Lord is the road to heaven by virtue of His shed blood for our sins.
Jn 14:6, “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way [literally, the road], the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’”
Have you come to the place where you have acquiesced to the fact that Jesus is the only way to heaven (Ac 4:12)?
