Dr. J. Vernon McGee, Th.D.
Only Faith
Transcript: God's not only love, He's righteous, holy, just and the holy demands of God had to be met—His just claims, His righteous standards must be met. And love may long to save, but the immutable law of justice makes love powerless to do so. And so Christ, by dying for your sins, He met the holy demands of justice and God can now save you by grace. How wonderful it is. When we were guilty, Christ paid the penalty. God doesn't ask your cooperation to save you. He doesn't ask for your conduct or your character. God only asks men to believe Him, to trust Him, to accept Christ, to take His way.

About Church of the Open Door
Built in 1914, the 4000-seat Church of the Open Door was conceived by R. A. Torrey who had come to Los Angeles to start a Bible institute (now known as Biola University) similar to Moody Bible Institute. Other pastors have included Louis T. Talbot (1932–1948) and J. Vernon McGee (1949–1970). The church is strictly non-denominational, though Evangelical. Its mission was to reach the lost of Los Angeles, which was reflected in the name ‘Church of the Open Door’ based on two passages of Scripture:
“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” - Jesus Christ, John 10:9 KJV
“I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.” - Jesus Christ, Revelation 3:8 KJV
