“CHOOSE THE RIGHT PATH”
There are millions of people throughout the world that believe in multiple paths to God. Some believe that their path is the right way, and their path does not even include God or a god. The clear-cut truth of the scripture involves only two paths. One leads to God and eternal life, and the other leads to hell and eternal destruction.
Jesus taught that man must enter in at the straight gate. The straight gate just happens to be a very narrow pathway. Although narrow, it will lead you to eternal life. The other gate is a wide gate that leads to a broad pathway. Most people across the globe have entered in at this gate and find themselves roaming down this broad path. The broad path seems to be more inviting with much more to see and explore, however, it leads to death and destruction.
The straight gate and narrow way are a person, and His name is Jesus. Jesus is the only way to salvation and eternal life. He is the narrow way. There are not many avenues or detours if we choose Christ; He is as straight as a gun barrel. Christ says in John 14:6 that He is the way the truth and the life, no man can come to the Father except through Him. That is very narrow and rigid. There is no room for other roads, gods, or any detours. He is the only way.
The broad way is so broad and wide, every other religion, philosophy, and perceived way fits into the broad way. However, they all lead to the same end; They all lead to eternal death in Hell, a literal lake of fire!
Jesus said that there would be few that find the straight and narrow way. As Christians, we have a responsibility to evangelize the unsaved. We have been commissioned by the Lord Jesus to show people the way. We are to show them Christ through presenting the Gospel and through letting Christ’s light shine through us. It is vitally important that folk choose the right path. There are not many, there are only two; The broad path that leads to destruction and the narrow path that leads to eternal life. Choose the right path!
Matthew 7:13, 14—“13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
