We give our children the keys to our homes; but we know everything is Copestetic when they give us the key to theirs.
One of the symbols of maturity in youth is the day that parents trust their children with a key to the house. Until that time, parents did not have confidence that their children could be trusted come and go in a responsible.
The child who had the key had access.
We feel welcomed to the treasures of heaven because Christ has given us the key. We feel we have access anytime.
Consider the young man who had gone away from home to start his own family. He bought himself a new home, car and lived rather lavishly. One day his parents received a letter in the mail. The letter contained a ring of keys and a note. Curious, the parents read the note which said: "Dear Mom and Dad. Please find enclosed the key to my new car, key to my home burglar alarm code, the combination to my safe. Anything I have, please feel free to use or borrow. You gave me full access to your treasures; I give you full access to mine."
At the bottom of the note was a P.S.: "By the way I still have the key to your front door...just in case!" The parents felt welcomed to their son's home. He also felt welcome to return home anytime.
Romans 15:7 Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received [a]us, to the glory of God.
To show us how much he loves us, Christ has given us the keys to the kingdom, and faith unlocks the door.
