THE PATH WE FOLLOW.

Matthew 7 :13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. KJV

Has God hidden the path we are to follow to the gate that leads us to eternal life? Is it so difficult to find the way to the gate that most people can not find it? Is the gate so restricting that most people can not fit through the gate? Is God dangling a carrot in front of us that He knows we will never reach?

No to all! God has not made the way to eternal life hard to find, nor has He made it difficult to pass from darkness through the gate into the light. God knows human nature and knows how we behave. God is not enticing us to do something that is impossible, but it is difficult for people to know and understand what God wants from us. Many people will be following the path they believe to be a righteous way to salvation and eternal life, only to find that the manmade road signs along the way have mislead them. God has given us very explicit instructions, He has told us where the path is that leads to the gate, He has given us the means by which to light the path, He has given us the key to the gate, and He has given us the means to handle the bumps and detours we experience along the way. What God has given us is the Bible. Read, study, and commit yourself to following God’s word and you will be on the right path and will easily enter the gate leading to eternal life.
