Hard Is the Way That Leads To Life

in #steemchurch5 years ago

If life can be bought with money then it will only be the rich who will live and the poor will die miserably.

People will do whatever it takes to ensure they live long and healthy on a planet that is a temporal abode but will ignore a free gift of salvation that leads to eternal life in a kingdom that last forever.

The reason being that the way to eternal life in the heavenly kingdom is not an easy one. It comes with a great price. Few are those who will dare to go through that way. The bible describes it as a narrow way.

“Go in through the narrow gate, because the gate is wide and the road is spacious that leads to destruction, and many people are entering by it. How narrow is the gate and how constricted is the road that leads to life, and there aren’t many people who find it!” Mathew 7:13-14

It is so easy to travel on a wide path but not on a narrow path. I remember an unforgettable encounter that I had. I went to a town to buy some items on my way home there was no bus, I had to struggle and force myself into a bus that came after standing at the station for hours.

Many people wanted to enter the only bus to the town where I stayed and I couldn't afford to be left out. I got into the bus alright and was seated comfortably but there some scratches on my body due how we rushed and forced ourselves into the doorway of the bus.

From this experience I can clearly see the true picture and understand how only few people dare to go through the pathway to heaven.

Travelling on that path comes along with suffering, sacrifices, trials, temptation. Serving God has never been easy and the way to life is indeed hard to find.

You would will have to deny yourself, forsake this world and everything in it if truely heaven is all you have ever dreamt.

Salvation is free but working on your slavation till you finish the race and obtain the price of eternity is not so easy.

There is an easy path that a lot of people love to travel but it leads to death or destruction in the long run. Don't join the majority.

Many people believe there is heaven but don't make conscious effort to find the way that leads to heaven.

Some people have tried to find their own way or path but the only true path is to follow Christ Jesus who is the way the truth and the life.

Those who have found the only true path or way so. are likely to be dissuaded or get discouraged to stop on their way when they are faced with challenges on the way.

Our prayer to God should about asking for more grace to embark on the journey leading to eternal life.

There is no easy way to enter the kingdom of God but with God all things are possible. We pray for God's grace to see us through... Amen
