Grace for your spirit March 19, 2008

Grace for your spirit
Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it. For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those w ho find it. Mt 7:13-14

When we enter into this life, the way is very narrow, but it is the only way in. The choice is not ours. Jesus taught us all that in order to enter the kingdom, we must be born again. Jesus further directed us that He was the only way in when He said, "No one comes to the Father, but by Me." That’s narrow, but it’s the only way in, and the choice is not ours. Someday when we stand before the judgment seat of God, and He looks for our name in the Book of Life, the standard of judgment will be narrow. We cannot and will not decide the terms of entrance. His Word will be the judge. May we quit thinking it is all up to us, and we can do whatever we want. Yield to His narrow way. It is the only way.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
