Matthew 7:13-14
Jesus said, ” Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.”
” Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life; and there are few who find it.”
Inspiration.
The narrow way leads to life eternal through Jesus Christ, our Saviour.
Jesus says that there are few on the narrow way – because some people want to live a wild and sinful life and they have not accepted the free gift of salvation.
The broad way leads to sin and destruction, and there are many on the broad way, because they chose to remain in their sins, and have not accepted Jesus as their Saviour.
It is also very important to realize and understand that the majority is never going the right way – the holy and godly way.
Prayer (for you)
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for providing a way for me to be saved, sanctified and redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, my Saviour.
Lord Jesus, thank You for being the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the entire world – anyone to comes to You seeking salvation will be saved.
Praise the Lord from Who all blessing flow.
Thank You for what You have done for me and what You will continue to do.
Please lead and guide me on the straight and narrow way that leads to life eternal.
And help me to endure to the end so that I can be saved, become part of the family of God, and receive the gift of eternal life.
O Lord Jesus, I pray for those who have not made their decision to follow You all the way and are still on the broad way.
I pray that they will come to their senses and choose You, make their ” call and election sure” before it is eternally too late.
And Lord, I ask that You will continue to help, guide those of us who have accepted You – help us to be faithful in our Christian walk and endure to the end.
I praise and glorify You.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
