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.
One needs to realize that God didn’t want it to be this way. He wasn’t looking for an elitist group. The test for passing was not made too difficult and not one person should fail. Unfortunately the majority of the human race has chosen to reject the free gift of salvation.
Why?
Man seems to like to lean on his own understanding. We have an uncanny ability to think we are pretty smart. Nobody knows what’s better for me, than me.
Proverbs 14:12 – 12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
Proverbs 16:25 – 25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
So nice, King Solomon had to say it twice.
God does have a way He wants us to live our lives and it’s written throughout his word that He provided.
Proverbs 3:5-6 – 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Trust in the Lord. Study His Word. Know what He wants from your life. He gave you life. Once you start knowing what He wants from you and how you’re supposed to live, you’ll be on the narrow path.
One more thing, “If the path you’re on is wide, you’re on the wrong path!”
