“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. --- Matthew 7:13-14 The gate that leads to eternal (John 10:7-9) is called “narrow.” This does not mean that it is difficult to become a Christian but that there is only one way to eternal life with God and that only a few decide to walk that road. Believing in Jesus is the only way to heaven, because he alone died for our sins and made us right before God. Living his way may not be popular. But it is true and right. Thank God there is one way! --- Life Application Study Bible notes PRAYER Dear Lord, Thank You for coming into our lives and teaching us what to believe. While most people walk down the big wide road, I pray that I will choose to walk down the less taken path. I know it’s a harder path to travel but I believe that it brings ultimate liberation and victory because You have already walked that path before us. I know the big wide road has no set of sure values, no sense of right and wrong, no need for redemption. I choose the narrow gate of disciplined, dedicated discipleship, which leads to an abundant life. Help me to resist the temptations to follow the crowd down a path that ultimately leads to destruction. In Jesus’ name, Amen
