"Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it.
But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it." Matthew 7:13-14
There are two groups: a group of many and a group of a few.
In which group are you?
The first group is going to destruction. They are going towards destruction.
They are living their lives.
They chose this way because the gate is larger... It´s easier! They can go whatever they want, say the words they wish, walk with people that take them away from Jesus...
The second group is composed by those who are walking to life.
Only a few!
Because the gate is narrow! To go through this gate people must search for God and be free from their sins and bad habits. People must put some things behind...
The Holy Spirit is the one able to transform us in order to go through the small gate.
Nowadays, we see lots of people saying that they want Jesus and His salvation but living a life completely different from what Jesus requires.
We must fear God! We must take God seriously! Jesus is coming back!
Deuteronomy 12:1-7.
God was instructing people. There are some attitudes we must take. Christianism is for the strong! Not for the weak or timid!
If you don´t destroy some things in your life, you are going to be destroyed!
Matthew 19:16-26
It´s impossible from ourselves to leave behind what we need to leave! But with God is possible!
There´s something for you to do!
You must choose!
What God had to do He has already done!
What do you have to do to enter heaven?
We have our excuses...
Sometimes we think we are good enough, holy enough...
Ask: "- God! What do I still lack?"
At first, you may feel sad for leaving behind some habits... But believe in this promise:
"Jesus said, Truly I tell you, there is no one who has given up and left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for My sake and for the Gospel’s Who will not receive a hundred times as much now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life."
Mark 10:29-30
