What does even the most unimaginably beautiful building have to do with such things as conviction of sin, remorse, repentance or supplication?

Only a consciousness of personal sin and the need of a Savior, brought to bear upon a soul by the Holy Spirit can lead to repentance and faith, resulting in Salvation.

“Except ye repent and be converted ye shall all likewise perish” is so plain, unequivocal and final, I’d sure hate to hang my Eternal Salvation on whether or not a tour of even the most stunning edifice gave me goosebumps. But that’s just me.

Like the gates of heaven, it is an entrance to discovering and learning about the faith of the individual who created this structure. The building, in and of itself, elevates the heart and mind heavenward. The rest is up to God.
