THE EASY WAY UP

Matthew 7:13 says, "You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose the easy way.” This doesn’t mean that it’s difficult to get to heaven but simply corrects the wrong understanding that there many ways into heaven. People have used religion, good works or money to try and pave their way into heaven. All these ways can be deemed as easy because they’re are all human acts. Being allowed into heaven requires an act of God, after all no human has descended from heaven so it begs the argument that no human can ascend into heaven on their own strength. That’s why the only way to heaven is Jesus, which was written in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” There is only one choice as far as a God is concerned – the narrow gate – Jesus. It really is quite easy, isn’t it?
