Dr. J. Vernon McGee, Th.D.
A Finished Salvation
Transcript: I wonder really when you begin to think this through, isn’t it a matter of conceit on our part to think that you and I as sinners could do something that would cause God to say, “Oh, my, what a nice little fellow you are. And I’m so happy to have you in heaven, because you are sure going to add a great deal to it.” Why, my friends, that’s not the picture at all. He did it all for us, you see. Because even our righteousness is filthy rags in His sight. He can’t accept our righteousness because we don’t have any. “There are none righteous; no, not one.” And, therefore, He offers a finished salvation to you. And when you trust Christ, you become a new creation in Christ Jesus.

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
