THE RIGHT GATE!

Matthew 7:13 – Devotional

Matthew 7:13

“Enter by the narrow gate; but wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction and most people enter that gate.”

It is imperative for us to rely upon the infallible Word of God to give us a reality check. There is so much garbage in today’s media that it is often hard to breathe. The most important reality check is that everyone is on the way to an eternal destination. It makes a critical difference as to our destination.

First and foremost we need to understand that we are offered a heaven to gain and a hell to avoid! There are many people who discount the harsh reality of hell. The fact of the matter is that Jesus spoke clearly about the reality of that place of eternal pain and suffering. All that is required to go there is to do nothing.

Jesus came into the world to offer a glorious alternative to the eternal flames of hell. He suffered and died for us to give us an eternal home that is beyond our wildest imagination. The requirement is to be born again and have our name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

We do not gain access to heaven by trying to be good, but by being covered by the blood of Jesus. He came to shed his blood to cover our sinful nature. I beg you not to take the broad and easy way that leads to eternal damnation, but choose God’s way that leads to life beyond imagination. Take the right gate!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
