The Narrow Gate and The Wide Gate

"Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." Matthew 7:13-14 I have been thinking about these verses as we have been going over them in church. These verses are both convicting amd encouraging. Only through Christ, will we find the narrow gate, or even begin to look for it. It is His incredible grace that gives us a desire to seek Him. The narrow road is a hard one with few friends. This is the life of a Christian. When we are being discouraged or persecuted, we can be encouraged to know that we are on the right path, and that His grace is sufficient for us. Soli Deo Gloria, Ahlaischa
