The Triune God is our Entrance into New Jerusalem

We 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*:

When Pain Makes You Comfort-Able
Dear friend, God may very well send someone your way who needs a person who understands. No one can help a woman who is struggling with a wayward teenager like the mother who has welcomed a prodigal home.No one can encourage a woman struggling with depression like the woman who has come out of that same darkness and into the light.No one can help a woman struggling with the pain of a shameful past like the woman who has exchanged her tattered sackcloth for a princess’s robe.That’s why your story matters.
