Two Gates, Two Ways

The highway to hell is broad & its gate is wide for the many who choose the easy way.But the gateway to life is small & the road is narrow & only a few ever find it. Matthew 7:13-14 (New Living Translation)

Have you ever been accused of being a narrow-minded Christian?

Those who level such accusations against us certainly mean it as an insult. According to Jesus, however, that’s the only way to walk if we want to experience abundant life now and eternal life with Him in heaven.

But it will require a deliberate choice on our part, because no one automatically drifts onto this pathway.The broad way is easy to find. In fact, unless you make a conscious choice to avoid it, you’ll find yourself on it.

Most people like this wide path because it encompasses all philosophies and belief systems. Everything is acceptable and everyone’s “truth” is valid. It even seems like the loving path because no one is left out. There are no restrictions and freedom is unlimited. Or is it?

What those who travel this road fail to realize is that it’s a downward descent into destruction. All the promises it gives of satisfaction and fulfillment end in disappointment because it’s a path without God.

But those who enter by the narrow gate of faith in Christ find the peace and joy of a relationship with Him that satisfies the heart. The gate is small because truth guards the entrance. The way is narrow because the Lord protects us with wise boundaries.

Which path are you traveling? You can’t have one foot on each, because they’re going in opposite directions. When you tolerate everything, you’re headed for destruction. But when you choose the narrow way, your life truly begins. You’ll walk with Christ day by day until He walks you home to heaven.
