People hold varying ideals about what constitutes Christianity. Few who profess Christ actually know what he taught and even fewer practice what he preached. As a result most people believe Jesus' way of life is impractical and unworkable in the real world. But this is not based on the truth which the bible teaches, but tends to be the message of what man preaches. We must not become complacent and think as long as we say we believe in Jesus, attend church occasionally, and are basically good people,they are pleasing God. Jesus died to save souls and it is a narrow road we must travel to fulfill His will.
There is more to this journey than just saying you believe in Jesus. There is also a life we are called to live, a duty we have been chosen to do and a road which we are lead to travel. It is a uphill road paved solely with the promises of God. His ordinances is our guard rails which keeps up from straying to the left or the right. His truths order our steps in righteousness, and His spirit guides us along the way as we walk in the faith that He walks by our side both day and night. His goodness and mercy following us to catch us when we fall, and comfort us along the way. Are you traveling on the narrow uphill road, you can tell cause you might see a traveler every now and then, or are you on the downward road, busy with many on the road to no where.
The way leading to eternal life is the way of living within the boundaries defined in God's law. It is not the broad popular way that approves of any behavioral preference and practice. Ask yourself, are you on the one way street that leads to glory or are you stumbling in darkness on the broad road to destruction.The answer to this question will help you determine if you are on the way. Jesus is the only way.
