Conclusion: This World is SICK, LOST AND IN TROUBLE
You are wondering where I am going with this, aren't you? We, supposedly are Christians and therefore we should be able to minister to others about the Word. The Lord Jesus Christ. But How many Christians do you see actually telling others about their New Found Freedom, their Savior Jesus Christ? Not a whole lot, is there?
Here is a scripture that I am lead to give it is this, "" Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leads unto life, and few are they that find it."
What does this scripture mean to you? Does it mean that there are many many different roads into the kingdom of heaven, or one narrow way into the kingdom of heaven? Does it mean that I can be a "Good, Honest Man, and get into the kingdom of heaven or does it mean that the only way in is to "Go through the GATE "? " John 10:9 - I am the gate. If anyone enters through me , he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture."
There are movements, cults out there that says all you need to do is be nice . Help others, and there are many ways you can go to get to the kingdom of heaven.
Look at a couple of scriptures:
Mark 9:23 ... I can do all things through Him who strengthens me
John 1:3 Through him all things were made, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
Now Everyone should recognize this scripture.... John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." but what people forget is what it says in the very next verse ... John 3:17
3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Does it not make senseto say that The Word is The Creator, the Word died for our sins, And it was the Word that walked this earth in His Ministry to show us all, how to enter into the Kingdom of God. Everything goes Through Him. It even says that you can only get to the Father Through the Son, Through Him.
So They that say there are many ways into the kingdom do not know the true way. Those who say you can get into heaven by just being nice, do not know the scriptures. For The Creator himself said,John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
Lord, help them to find the right way, the narrow way.. "
In Him and Through Him,
