Only the Narrow Way Leads To Life - Matthew 7: 13,14

God has shown in His holy word there is only one sure way to life a life that's eternal to the full for all other ways just bring strife Jesus has said when here on earth to find me enter by the narrow gate never choose any roads of twists and turns you can't see around a bend before its too late There's a gate that's really wide the way there is easy to find but with it comes utter destruction there are lots that will be left behind The narrow gate is exactly that making it difficult to get a pass this is the price that's worth it for the heavenly road goes first class Now its so difficult to walk this way the numbers that succeed are very few but God's will his for His own elect to walk the narrow way, will that be you? (13 “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. 14 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 (ESV)

In church Sunday we just went over this verse. I have been trying to write on what we go over on Sundays and share it with my son.

Only through the narrow way and only by discarding the flimsy pleasures of the world, one can enter through the gates of Heaven. Those who choose the easy way will never see the face of God. God demands from us some sacrifices ! A great poem resounding the need for bearing the cross to redeem the soul !

Beautiful reminder Gordon, and timely for me. I have been remembering today the balance beam from my high school gymnastics classes. We practiced till we were able to focus without looking at that beam, eyes straight ahead, so as not fall to the left nor the right, but walk that narrow path, that balance beam. The Lord put it in my heart to focus straight ahead on Him, and continue to walk His straight and narrow path, like the beam. Conformation to me. God bless you. and happy new year!

Thanks BJ, Glad you enjoyed this one and it was a beautiful reminder of your high school days, afraid I never liked gymnastics at school as was afraid of heights so probably that didn't help. Have a blessed 2022 and blessings always, Gordon
