Two Ways Of Life

Matthew; 7:13-14
("Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.)
Both the narrow gate as well as the wide gate are thought to lead to the kingdom of God. But in reality, only one gate will get you there. Jesus Himself said that many will try the wide gate and end in destruction. Satan and the world say "you don't have to believe in Jesus to go to heaven" and many believe the lie. They think they can earn their way to the Father and heaven. Or they think they can be good enough, or that God is not going to send anyone to hell. But the Bible is clear that Jesus is the only way to the Father. When Thomas asked Jesus how can we know the way to where you are going Jesus told him this.
John;14:6
(Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.)

There are all the cults out there tell you that Jesus isn't the only way. But all you have to do is get yourself a Bible and read it for yourself to see what God says, not what the world says. It's your
eternal life and I would think you'd want to know the truth. Man will lie to you but God cannot lie.

John MacArthur puts it this way. "Both the narrow gate and the wide gate are assumed to provide the entrance to God's kingdom. Two ways are offered to people. The narrow gate is by faith, only through Christ, constricted and precise. It represents true salvation in God's way that leads to life eternal. The wide gate includes all religions of works and self-righteousness, with no single way, but leads to hell, not heaven."
So who you going to believe, God or the world?

God Bless You!
