Day 22

 

¶

“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.

For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it."

 

It is amazing to me how some think everyone is going to heaven, Very simply put no not everyone who calls them self a Christian is going to make it in to heaven.

 

In a few days we will read in Matthew 7:21

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter”.

“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS."

 

One thing about going through a small gate you cannot carry a bunch of baggage You can’t take your stuff and things, and there is also no room for a puffed up ego, bitterness, anger, pride, jealousy, worry or fear.

 

Packing a bitter attitude with you can keep you from going through the small gate the same as if you were carrying an elephant.

 

For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

And there are few who find it.

 

Will you be one of the few?

Or are the things and ways of this world so great that you can’t let go of them?

Repent from your wicked way, ask to be forgiven, turn back to the Lord and serve Him with all your heart mind and soul, confess Him to others and Christ will confess you before His Father in heaven.

 

Unload the pain and anger it takes up a lot of room in your soul.
