Reference: Matthew 7:13-14
If you were asked the question whether ornot you were on the strait and the narrow way that leads to life eternal, whatwould your answer be? Can you say that you are traveling on the narrow way, orare you in complete darkness, not knowing which way you are going? Many todaydo not know which way they are going, as far as the spiritual life isconcerned. The Bible says that many are on the road that leads to destruction.According to the word of Almighty God, there will only be a very few that willfind the way that leads to life eternal. This way that leads to life, is a verystrait and narrow way, meaning that it is a way that requires strict obedienceto the way of living as the Bible reveals. Within this article you will come tothe knowledge of the strait way that leads to life. If you are not willing towalk on this way, then you will never enter into life eternal, that the Biblespeaks about. The plain truth of the strait way will be rejected by thegreatest majority, because they are not willing to walk this kind of life.There are millions that are on the broad way that leads to destruction,thinking that they are on the narrow way that leads to life eternal. The waythat leads to destruction, is a way that does not speak out against thepleasures of this world. Most preachers will not tell you the truth of thenarrow way, simply because they themselves are not on this way. If you are onthe broad way that leads to destruction, you will not agree with this article,because you won't be willing to live this way. According to the Bible, the waythat leads to life, is a very narrow path that requires your whole being.
Youmust present your whole being to the way that the Bible says and reveals. Mostconfessing Christians do not offer their bodies unto God as a living sacrificelike His word tells them to do. False preachers and teachers will tell you thatyou do not have to receive the knowledge that the Bible contains, but the truthof the matter is that, you must come to the knowledge of the truth, or you willnever be one that will enter into the kingdom of God. You must yield yourentire self of God, which includes your body, soul, and your mind. You musthave your mind renewed by the knowledge contained in the gospel of Christ. Youwill never come to the knowledge of the truth, unless you receive and obey theword of truth as revealed in the gospel. This means that you must have adetermination of knowing nothing but Christ and Him crucified. To know Christand Him crucified, means that you must forsake all, and begin to receive, andobey the revealed truth that the gospel contains. Many think that they can yetpartake of the things of this world and have Christ too, but the truth of theword says that you must not love the world , or the things of the world. If youlove the world, or are a friend of the world, then the love of God is not inyou. How can you possibly love God, if you yet love the world and what itpossesses? You cannot love God and mammon. You must either love God, or thenatural realm of this life. Jesus said that you cannot serve two masters: foreither he will hold to the one, and despise the other, or else he will hate theone and love the other. If you think that you can partake of the table of theLord, and of the table of the devil, then you, my friend, are on the way thatleads to destruction, of which many are thereon. Many think they can enjoy thepleasures of this earthly realm of life, and yet inherit life eternal, but theyare in for a soul-shaking surprise at the day of judgement. The devil has manybelieving that they do not have to come to the knowledge of the word of truth,but my friend, unless you are aware of the fact that Satan is a liar, and thetruth is not in him, then you are going to be one that is heading fordestruction. You may think that to abstain from the things of this world isfoolish, but only those who are willing to obey the truth will be the ones thathave found the strait and narrow way that leads to life eternal. If you are not willing to deny yourself ofthis life, then you will be one that ends up in a devils hell that burns withfire and brimstone. You can scoff this article if you wish, but the day willcome when the table will be turned, and then you will realize that Satan hasdeceived you, and caused you to lose your soul forever. The gospel is the waythat will lead you to life eternal, but if you are not willing to forsake all, and begin to desire the wordof God, then you, my friend, will never see the joys that God has prepared forthem that love and serve Him. Satan will tell you that you don't have to knowwhat the gospel reveals, but allow me to tell you again, that Satan is a liar,and the truth is not in him. Within the denominational churches today, arefalse teachings that do not correspond with the word of truth that the gospelcontains. Your church doctrine tells you that all that is required to have eternallife, is just to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and confess it with yourmouth, but they will not tell you that within the gospel is revealed therighteousness of God, that you must come to the knowledge of, and obey. God'srighteousness is revealed to those that receive and obey the truth of thegospel of Christ. God's righteousness is the life that Christ lived while Hewas on this earth. Christ becomes your life if you receive the truth revealedin the gospel, because He is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE.Your receiving the truth that the gospel reveals, and walking in it is how youreceive Christ in your life. To receive truth will mortify your natural life,causing you to be transformed into the image of the Son of God. The crucifyingof your flesh, is the reason as to why there will only be a few that willreceive and obey the word of God. The truth will kill the flesh, with its lustsand desires, but the flesh is what we must overcome so that Christ can becomeour life. Satan will tell you that, it is foolish to believe the truth, becauseit will require too much of a sacrifice. This is exactly why there will be onlya few that will inherit eternal life. This world is full of false prophets thatwill not tell you the truth of the gospel. They are leading countless thousandsto damnation, by their failing to tell what the Bible really says. If you thinkthat you can have life eternal, and yet partake of this worlds pleasures, thenmy friend, you can go right on your deceived and stubborn way. The Bible saysrebellion is the sin of witchcraft, and stubborness is as iniquity andidolatry. (I Samuel 15:23) Jesussaid that many would in the judgement day, say to Him, that they did manywonderful works in His name, casting out devils, etc. The Bible says thatChrist will say to them, that He never knew them, because they were workers ofiniquity. My friend, iniquity, is your refusing to receive the word of truth,and failing to obey it, and yet confessing to be a child of God. Jesus saidthat because iniquity will abound, the love of many will wax cold. Many todaywill not receive and obey the word of truth, proving they are the workers ofiniquity. You, my friend, can receive or reject this article, but you will bejudged by the word of truth that you refused to receive. Christ is soon toreturn, taking revenge on them that know not God.
