Jesus said in Matthew 7:13,14
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
And in John 14:6 Jesus said,
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
So we read that Jesus is saying, that He is the only way to enter into Heaven.
If you was to look at a map and pick a city of your choice. Can you say truthfully that all the roads and highways on that map will take you to that city? Well the same principle applies to what Jesus is saying about the only path to Heaven.
When I hear people around me day after day and I watch popular celebrities on TV saying that there are many ways to what we call heaven. It hurts me deep down in my spirit when I hear these words. I want to help them but they laugh and go on about their daily lives.
Listen, I can say this with a pure heart. When we hear that there are many ways to heaven, it is a lie from Satan himself. Jesus said that there is no other way to get to Heaven. And Jesus said that He is that narrow gate. We have to make a choice and chose either life or death. To either believe a lie or believe the truth.
We must take this seriously, and be on guard that we do not get deceived by what others say. Or by our deceiving ourselves by reasoning in our mind about trying to find faults in Gods word. I want to say that we all need to realize that there is a serious war taking place for our souls.
We can't see this war taking place in the spirit realm 24 hours a day. And it is up to us to stay focused on what God said in His word. And stay on the winning side of this battle. We can find out who will win in the end by reading the book of Revelation. We read that Jesus wins and Satan looses the battle.
So, we know for a fact that Jesus was right when He said in John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
The safest place on earth is to be in the loving arms of Jesus Christ. The rest that the world has to offer us is all rubbish.
Let me share with you a very disturbing truth. There is coming a time when Christians will have to go to court. Because they are being accused of hate crimes. Because we stand for the truth and we hate sin. But we as Christians will be miss understood by the world, that we hate people who are not like us. The truth is we love that person but hate sin, we even hate our own sins.
And we are starting to see this taking place today in public places now. And you will start to see more and more of this taking place on the News. Just watch and see and you will hear it with your own ears and see it with your own eyes. The Bible warns us of these things by saying. He who has an ear let them hear.
In Matthew 7:13,14 we learned the truth about how we can enter into Heaven and avoid being deceived by the Great Deception that is sweeping across the land today. Jesus is giving us all here in these two verses two choices. Which gate will you enter in?
Here we all stand at the cross roads of life. It is our choice to chose which road we will walk down. Both roads leads to eternity. One road leads to eternal life with Jesus and the other road leads to eternal damnation in hell.
God has always left it up to people all the way back to Adam and Eve. To chose life or death. They had the two trees in the garden. The tree of good and the tree evil. So we see today, we have two choices to chose which gate we will chose the narrow gate or the broad gate. That is what Jesus is saying in Matthew 7:13,14.
I think it is time for all us born again believers to refocus on our walk with Jesus Christ and turn our faces toward Heaven. Don't You?
Jesus Loves You.
