Revelation 3:20
"Behold, I stand at the Door, and Knock: if any man hear My Voice, and open the Door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him and he with Me."
So, is the LORD of All Creation standing outside some kind of 'door' of free-will, waiting for someone to answer? No, He is the Door, "I am the Door: by Me if any man enter in, He shall be saved..." (John 10:9)
We enter in by Him. The Knock is the preaching of the Gospel, the Word of God, "...praying also for us, that God would open unto us a Door of Utterance, to speak the Mystery of Christ..." (Colossians 4:3)
His Word, the Voice of God, goes forth at His direction and those who hear His Voice were given ears by Him and they had the Door opened by Him, "...how He had opened the Door of Faith..." (Acts 14:27)
The "Knock" of Christ and Him crucified draws us to Him, the Door of Heaven, "...behold, a Door was opened in Heaven..." (Revelation 4:1) "And I...will draw all men unto Me." (John 12:32)
The Knock of the True Gospel isn't an opportunity but an announcement, a declaration of Salvation, by the Key of David; God in sinless flesh, Who unlocked, opened the Door of Heaven by His sacrificial death, "...These things saith...He that hath the Key of David, He that openeth, and no man shutteth..." (Revelation 3:7)
Jesus is the Door into Heaven, unlocked by Him, opened by Him, He is the Knock, He gives the hearing to hear His Knock, He draws His sinners with His Knock and we eat of Him and with Him; the Bread of Life.
ALL the glory goes to Christ Alone!
