Choose the narrow gate.
“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 (NLT)
The narrow gate means denying yourself and fully surrendering to God. The narrow gate means sacrificing your old ways and bad habits. The narrow gate means facing opposition, ridicule, and separation from this world. The narrow gate means continuously being misunderstood, even by your own friends and family. The narrow gate means dealing with copious amounts of spiritual warfare. The narrow gate means having your faith tested day after day. The narrow gate is challenging and exhausting.
But…
The narrow gate leads to spiritual transformation. The narrow gate leads to true freedom, breaking the power of sin. The narrow gate leads to a life that has real purpose and meaning. The narrow gate leads to genuine peace and joy that’s rooted in Christ. The narrow gate leads to a love that’s so good and so pure it’ll blow your mind. The narrow gate leads to undying strength in all circumstances. The narrow gate leads to great trust and hope in the promises of God. The narrow gate leads to salvation and the amazing gift of eternal life in heaven.
Choose the narrow gate.
