The moment we enter through the Gate of Jesus Christ, by believing in Him for the forgiveness of our sins, we dramatically alter our eternity; I am the gate; whoever enters through Me will be saved (John 10:9). We were once blind and destined for eternal separation from God, but now we see and will spend eternity as His child. After passing through the Gate, God begins to conform us to the likeness of His Son (Romans 8:29), until our only desire is to bring Him glory, and praise His name forever. At times, this process can be painful. It can hurt to strip away layers of pride and crawl from under the dominion of our old sinful nature; it can hurt to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus. But as we persevere and catch a glimpse of His glory, we will never again desire to be away from His presence. Psalm 84:10 Better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
