Love the visual of the “gateway.” Perfect analogy. Evil is deceptively attractive.

And Salvation is amazingly simple by contrast. There are no complicated formulas, rituals or ceremonies to be performed, all that is needed is for the person seeking Salvation to first confess to God the fact that they ARE a sinner, lost eternally and without hope, believe and proclaim that Jesus Christ IS the Son of the Living God, IS our Saviour and only hope of Salvation, and that it is by His sacrifice and the shedding of His blood for our sins that washes us clean, makes us pure, and reconciles us to God the Father. ASK Jesus to save them, to make Him Lord of their life, and to repent, i.e., to change their direction, to go in a new path, which is the Path that Christ has set before us.

And we need to remember that it is the Blood, the Blood, and nothing BUT the Blood of Jesus that washes our sins away.

Daniel tells us that the beast intends to put iniquity on this sacrifice and when he does, bring the world to an end because of it. So the life of the entire world is at stake in it.

Communion is the peace offering that God has made with the world ( by treaty in the blood of the cross) giving it (for a limited time) amnesty from annihilation so that all people on earth who choose to do so are able to repent of their sins and return to God through the path of Christ.
