In this sermon Judgment At The Gate, in order to gain the full understanding of this blessed truth, we must compare scripture with scripture. We focus on the last book of the bible. A challenge went forth for one to enter Heaven's door and proceed to the throne of God to retrieve the book and open it.  Ability to do so would accomplish redemption.  However, one first had to overcome the judgment at the gate!  One had to be worthy to enter.  One had to deal with the single obstruction of the fiery sword!  Christ was as confident as Boaz that He would succeed.  We see confidence in His words to Mary at the gravesite, because He told her that He would ascend to His Father and her Father!  Mary was not born again yet, but Christ's work was that sure to occur, that the subsequent redemption causing all believers to be able to be born again was certain.
