Always and everywhere Christ is the door. The way to peace with God is through our Lord Jesus; and access into the grace of salvation is also through Him. To reject Christ is to reject everything of blessings and good. To receive Christ is to be admitted to all the privileges and benefits of redemption.
This “access” is into all “grace.” Grace is favour undeserved. What we earn by our own deeds is not grace; it is wages. What comes to us as mercy, through the love of God, is grace. “Access” – to what? To all the blessings that belong to God’s children. “All things are yours,” says St. Paul, “and ye are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.” There is the privilege of prayer – we have access to that. There is the Bible – that is ours. There is the Church – that is for us. There is grace for life, comfort for sorrow, all divine fullness – we have access into that. There is heaven at the last – the door is open for us to enter in and to go out no more forever.
