The Ever-Open Door of Mercy

Commentators unanimously see the 'gates open continually' as a powerful symbol of God's unending invitation. The doors to the church, to Christ, and to salvation are never shut. Day or night, in any season, all who wish to come are welcomed. This signifies the constant, unceasing availability of the gospel and God's grace to everyone, from every nation.
