The Triune God is our Entrance into New Jerusalem

New JerusalemWe will cover the six aspects of the application of the New Jerusalem to the believers [in chapters 39-44 of this book*]. The first application is the triune entry. We are using entry in the denotation of entering in, not in the denotation of an entrance or a door. The entering into the New Jerusalem is triune because it is an entry through the Divine Trinity—through the Son, with the Father, and by the Spirit.*

New Jerusalem has three gates on each of its four sides (Rev. 21:12-13). The number three signifies the Triune God and four the creatures. These twelve gates represent the eternal perfection of the Triune God as the entrance for man into New Jerusalem.

The city is constructed with the Triune God infused into His people. The only way to participate in this, to enter into this, is the Triune God Himself. Thank Him that He has opened the way for us to enter. More on this entrance from earlier chapters in this book*:

      Do Christian Values Work in What We Call the "Real World"?

      In his classic text, The Contemplative Pastor, Eugene Peterson wrote:As a pastor, I don’t like being viewed as nice but insignificant. I bristle when a high-energy executive leaves the place of worship with the comment, ‘This was wonderful, Pastor, but now we have to get back to the real world, don’t we?’ I had thought we were in the most-real world, the world revealed as God’s, a world believed to be invaded by God’s grace and turning on the pivot of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection.
