THE NARROW GATE



'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' (Mathew 7:13-14)

Dear Brethren..Our Lord Jesus Christ in this scripture was referring to our daily Christian lives and how we should live it. Christianity is about our relationship with God and our fellow humans and not necessarily about church denomination or how often we attend church activities. Christianity is not just about hearing the Word of God but it is about doing and total obedience to his word daily. This is going to require a firm and constant commitment from  us as Christians.  Living a true Christian Life is not an easy task at all but the grace of God is sufficient for us to achieve this through faith.

The distraction in the world today is so much and has led a lot of people even some Christians to be led astray. There are so many things in our world today that is just so wrong and against the Word of God but humans have accepted these anomalies as normal. God has given us an excellent guide on how to live our lives as Christians through his Word in the Bible. Jesus shared our humanity by coming into this world and he knows our challenges as humans that's why in Luke 13: 24 he says we should 'strive' to enter through the narrow gate.

Beloved Friends, Jesus is the narrow gate; He is also the difficult way. That is why he said in( Luke 9 :23)
; 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me'. Dear friends, please take note of the word;' DAILY ' Genuine Christianity is a daily affair by studying Gods word and doing good works daily. Taking up our cross also connotes dealing with the challenges that may occur in our everyday Living

Jesus is the Way, the Resurrection and the Life see (John 11:25)
