Get outa the road

Matthew 7:13-14 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

I was reading the gospel of John this morning; reading in chapters five and six; reading how Jesus was rebuking the religious leaders of the day for not recognizing their Messiah standing before them. So many paths to go down with how they had “missed the boat.” I opened up my favorite Bible website and the scripture above was the verse of the day. It reminded me of how for centuries how so many people have been led astray; even today just enough truth sprinkled in to make you think you are doing right…….does your heart stir questioning some things you hear from pastors today? That is the Holy Spirit warning you; pray and investigate what you are listening to in church or on TV. If you are not spending time in God’s Word on your own, you will be easily led astray……to a slaughter.

All paths do no lead to God; do not believe the truth in the Coexist lie from king of lies, Satan himself. If any religion of any sorts is not preaching Jesus Christ as the Son of God, crucified, and risen from the dead, that is any blend of religion that condemns eternally. John 5:23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. My pastor said yesterday to watch how the Lord’s Supper is treated and presented; I humbly tell you as a lay pastor their is no greater weight a pastor feels that the presentation of the Lord’s Supper. If he does not feel that burden, I worry for his soul and those listening to him. Leave a church that does not treat the Lord’s Supper with the utmost respect.

The key to the eternal gate of paradise is a matter of the heart. It is not a matter of intellect, it is a matter of faith. It is nothing to do with living a good life, nothing to do with your church attendance record, nothing to do with the level of any good deeds you may do. The key to heaven is found through faith in Jesus Christ alone; the understanding that he is the ONLY way you will get to heaven. The understanding that the Son of God willingly gave his life for you so that you may have eternal life with him. He died so that you may live. Any other blend of religion that teaches any way you earn your way is leading you to hell. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Do you have the key to that narrow gate? If you doubt, you likely don’t and have been mislead. If you want it, plea to Jesus for it and spend time in John’s gospel. God will open your eyes through your heart and your life will never be the same again. That narrow gate has been opened for you at the Cross.
