The Narrow Gate

“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few-Matthew 7:13-14

It’s seems to have become a popular, politically correct notion, that “everyone goes to Heaven”.  But that is not what Jesus said in God’s Word.

Jesus’ message is clear, the way to Heaven is “hard” and “those who find it are few”.

Clearly these verses do not support the politically correct life style of today which appears to be doing whatever you feel like, whenever you feel like it! 

This is a lie.  We don’t get to do whatever we want and still go to Heaven.

If we want to go to Heaven, we need to choose the path that goes there and follow it.  It’s true that if we stray, we can ask God to forgive us through His Son Jesus Christ and repent, and get back on the path.  But we do need to be on that path and we don’t get to do whatever we like, when we like.  It is God’s Will that matters, not ours’ ?

So what do we do?  Put God FIRST.  Accept and follow Jesus.  Keep our eyes fixed on Heaven.  Ask forgiveness for our sins through Jesus Christ and repent (change).  Stay on the path.  And love God and each other ?

And remember-“our hope and our help” comes from the Lord.  God will always answer our cries for help, especially in this, because He loves us.  ?

It’s not enough to say we accept Jesus; we must live it ?
