You've probably heard it said that there are many ways to God. Well that is the opinion of men. But is that really true? Let's see what Jesus has to say about it. In Matthew 7:13-14 he said,
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.
According to Jesus the way to God is a strait gate or opening. The word strait is not used the same way today. But in this context it means narrow. So Jesus is saying that the way to God is narrow and not broad or wide. If there were many ways to God, the way would be wide like a multi-lane freeway.
But Jesus is saying that the way to God is not like a multi-lane freeway, but like a crooked narrow trail up through the mountains not often traveled. The broad way, is like a public thoroughfare that many travel daily. It leads to destruction and not to God!
The broad way is the way of many religions. It is easy to find, easy to travel, but leads to destruction in the end! (Hell and Lake of Fire!)
Narrow is the way that leads to eternal life and few there are who find it!
The narrow way is Jesus! John 14:6 reads,
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Don't be deceived by the broad ways of religion! Many travel these ways. But Jesus is the only way that leads to Life!
Call upon Him repenting of your sins! He will open unto you the path of life into the kingdom of God! He has done it for many others. He will do it for you. He is no respecter of persons. If you will call upon him for forgiveness of your sins he will not turn you away! But do it now the time is short. No one is promised tomorrow!
Don't take a chance on the broad ways, they only lead to destruction!
But Jesus is the only way to Life!
