LIFE IN JESUS MINISTRIES

Rev 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 dine with him, and he with Me. 1.      Door of sin   – Gen 4:7 ( If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”) ,  Ps 51 talks about sin, Rom 3:23 ( 23  for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God),  & 6:23( For the wages of sin  is death)  – Lord has given us free will and freedom of choice, Lord does not force.

Text: Revelation 1:1-8 Intro: The book of Revelation is the most fascinating book ever written! It claims to be a vision of the end of the world. As we study it we will be swept in another time and another place as the future unfolds before us! Every one of us is curious about the future-we all want to know what will happen next.
