Matthew 7:13– “Enter through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the road is broad that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.”
I read about a band of burglars that used little children to facilitate their break-ins of vacation homes. They directed them to enter through small “doggie-doors” and then unlock the doors to the homes so the adults could gain entry.
“If only it were that easy to get into Heaven,” you exclaim.
The Bible says Heaven’s gate is indeed narrow…and that not everyone is willing to listen to God’s instructions and follow Jesus.
Too many take the easy way…hoping to enter through the broad gate…
the way of the world
the way they think is best
the way of non-commitment
the way of denial.
But, the broad gate leads to destruction—an eternity without God!
One of my teachers used to illustrate the freedom of choice like this: a universal truth is that a certain color is green. Let’s say someone comes along and calls it “pink.” They are welcome say that, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is green.
One can say that good works lead to Heaven, or that just being a nice person will earn them a place there, but that is just like calling the grass “pink.”
God’s Word says that JESUS is THE WAY
to the Father
to salvation
to Heaven.
The Bible says JESUS is the TRUTH
and the LIFE.
Here and now.
Forever and for all eternity.
Choose LIFE.
Choose JESUS.
Enter through the narrow gate.
