The Road Home

Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadth to life, and few there be that find it.

We all are on a long journey home, yet not everyone is going to the same address. God has made heaven available to all, yet many will choose to travel on the broad downward road. Some tend to think we can live any kind of way, and God has to allow us to enter into His kingdom. It is true that God loves us so much that He gave His son to die that we might live a life pleasing to Him. But remember He gave us all we need to live the life He calls us to live. He sent us His holy spirit to aid us in our living a life pleasing to Him, and He left us His written word, to correct and instruct us in righteousness, that we might be thoroughly furnished unto every good work. He left nothing to chance.

There is a popular false message being proclaimed that God is o.k. with our living a life in sin. Someone has convinced many of us that God's grace and mercy, makes it alright for us to continue to live the life we professed to be saved from. Jesus died to save us from sin, not in sin,  and He rose with all power in His hands, so He is able to keep us from falling. But we must in faith walk in the truth of God's word. This journey we are on is a road paved with the promises of God, lined with the love of God, with the oracles of God keeping us on the straight and narrow road. Many have started on this road but have chosen to take the off ramp of temptation, which leads to the broad road, which is the road which leads to destruction. There is only one road which leads to everlasting life promised by God. There is only one way, and one truth about that way, and one life, that the truth will cause you to live along that way, and that is Jesus the Christ the son of the living God.

Jesus said no man having put his hand to the plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God. Let us look to Jesus as our guide and travel up the kings highway on our long journey home, knowing that He is the way we must go, the truth we must believe, and the life we must emulate to be fit for the kingdom..
