Matthew 7; 13-14

Jesus Teaches About the Way to Heaven

" Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

How do I get to see Jesus? My son asks. That is a real good question, and simple. By loving him, by believing him, seeking him, making him number one in your life.

The more and more I study the bible the more and more I'm convinced that is the only ticket. Even before Jesus came there was the law, and really there was salvation through faith. I look at the major men of the O.T bible Abraham, Moses, and David, they all had trouble adhering to the law- they weren't perfect men, and they knew it.Yet they had faith that moved mountains and men. They went to heaven because they had faith. It's the world that has made it hard to get to heaven, we have put are own spin on it. The world has put together a lil' list in our heads saying if you want to get to heaven you must, do this, that, and this other thing. In main streamculture there is very lil knowlage of the bible, witch just happens to be Gods word. If you really get into the word you'll find all that God wants is us to love him. Love him and see where he takes you, You'll probly find yourself going to church instead of going to the bar. You'll probley find yourself saying Jesus Christ in a different way.

You'll probley find yourself loving your spouse in a way better way.

See being a believer in Jesus Christ is'nt a list of do's and don'ts. It's a built in desire,to be like him. It's a built in desire praise him. Your freed from the law natrualy, and you are shown love ten times more then you thought possible.

The gate that leads to eternal life is called narrow. This don't mean it's a obstacle course to be a Christian, but rather there is only one way to be with God, and few decide to walk that road. Believing in Jesus is the only way we get to heaven, because he alone died for our sins and made all our screw ups right before God. Living his way is not popular. But it's true and right. Thank God there is a way!
