THE NARROW GATE

John 14:6
I am the way,
the truth,
and the life.
No one can come
to the Father
except through me.



Matthew 7:13 teaches us that, "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 to imply that it’s difficult to get to heaven, but it simply clarifies the cloudy impression that there are many ways into heaven. People have used religion, good works or money to try and carve their way into heaven. All these ways can be deemed as easy because they’re all human acts. Being allowed into heaven, however, requires an act of God. After all, since no human ever descended from heaven, it begs the argument that no human can ascend to heaven on their own strength. There is only one way to make it past the pearly gates as far as a God is concerned: the narrow gate of Jesus. It really is quite easy, isn’t it?
