Matthew 7:13-14
13“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the
road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and
only a few find it.
This, as some of you know, is one of my favorite
things to talk about. The words above
are some of the most important you could ever read. Basically we are being told that few people
will truly be saved and go to heaven. We
are told to Try and enter through the narrow gate.
It is soo important that we know about the narrow
way because not many people are going to find it. I think I have used the following analogy
before, but it really makes the point I’m trying to make:
If you are on a road with 10 million people, and
they are all going the same direction….Let’s just say they represent the wide
gate. Now let’s say you go onto the same
road, but you are going the opposite direction.
If 10 million people are going one way, and you are going opposite direction…Won’t
you be noticed? You would be bumping
into people, causing a lot of commotion.
People will be looking at you like you are crazy! Right?
My point is very obvious, but very overlooked in
today’s society. If you have truly
repented and have turned your life over to God, then you are actually going the
opposite direction of most people around you.
Be ok with it! Use it as a tool
to explain why you are different!
If people in your circle don’t really know about
your salvation, could it be that you may in fact not be saved. Remember, if we are saved, we are going into
the narrow gate. Going into the narrow
gate WILL cause us to look and act different.
If there is nothing different about you, and people around you don’t
know much or anything about your faith, please pray for God to reveal to you
where you truly stand with Him.
