Welcome to the King of Glory

In verse 7, the hearts of those who would consider Christ by faith are being described as having gates and doors. That is how they are described. As God looks at your heart He can see if you are opening the gates; He can see if you are lifting up the everlasting doors, to welcome His Son, the King of glory, in. You can tell if you are a true Christian or not, if the gates and doors of your heart are open to these 3 truths. 1st - Your heart welcomes the idea that all the earth belongs to Christ Jesus our Lord. (Verses 1 and 2) 2nd - Your heart welcomes the idea that you must have the grace of the Lord Jesus in order to be holy. (Verses 3-6) And 3rd - Your heart welcomes the idea that King Jesus should have all the glory of your salvation. As people look at your life, as one of His saints, they ought to be able to see a gate and a door to eternal life. They ought to be able to see words and actions that bring glory to Christ, and which preach the gospel to others.
