The Narrow Way

Matt 7:13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go by it, because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

Many may believe they are entering heaven, but few will truly find the way. Self, worldliness, and deception are always claiming our time and deceiving us. Christ is the way, the only way to true freedom!

Freedom that can’t come through effort, but freedom that comes through surrender of self. The “Narrow Way” of following Christ; who had no self and was a perfect incarnation of God. In fact, His only son given up for you. That you, through Christ, may know Him and follow the “Narrow Way.” Never give up my friend, but rather learn to let go of the things of this world. Be “all in” for Christ!

The world and your self will lead to destruction. You can see all around folks striving to conform to the image of this world: more money, more desires fulfilled, more and more. Yet you can not fulfill your inner desires rooted in self, no! No! No! These desires must be transformed into desires to really know God. To really love the Lord with your whole essence. Then He will transform you through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Give yourself to this process and follow the Narrow Way to the Kingdom.
