Narrow Gate to Eternal Life
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is
the gate and broad is the road that leads
to destruction, and many enter through it.
But small is the gate and narrow the road
that leads to life, and only a few find it."
( Matthew 7:13 *NIV )
The gate that leads to Eternal Life is narrow indeed.
However that doesn't mean that being a Christian is difficult,
but it does mean that there is only one way to Eternal Life,
and believing in Jesus Christ is that way!
Jesus is quoted in the Book of John as saying;
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be
saved. He will come in and go out, and find
pasture. ( John 10:9 )
Our Savior also said; "Make every effort to enter
through the narrow door, because many, I tell
you, will try to enter and will not be able to.
( Luke 13:24 )
Now needless to say, in addition to believing in Jesus
Christ, we must obey God's Commandments, and do our
best to live a righteous life as well! For then we will, by the
Grace of God, make our way through that narrow gate.
Now when you think about it isn't it
wonderful to know that this life isn't all there is, and that
we may look forward to meeting our Beloved Savoir
Jesus Christ at that gate someday! Further that we will;
dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
( Psalms 23:6 )
So; Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not
all his benefits who forgives all your sins and
heals all your diseases, who redeems your life
from the pit and crowns you with love and
compassion. Amen. ( Psalms 103:2-4 )
