A light to the World, to open our eyes to our own darkness, to remove the chains of bondage. Our part……..Believe and walk in faith in Jesus, who did what we could not.
“I am the Lord, I have called You in righteousness, I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You, And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the nations, To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the dungeon And those who dwell in darkness from the prison.”
Isaiah 42:6-7 NASB

The Wide Gate, or the Narrow gate, that leads to Heaven.
Both the narrow gate and the wide gate are assumed to provide the entrance to God’s kingdom. Two ways are offered to people. The narrow gate is by faith, only through Christ, constricted and precise. It represents true salvation in God’s way that leads to life eternal. The wide gate includes all religions of works and self-righteousness, with no single way (cf. Ac 4:12), but it leads to hell, not heaven.

17:10 I … search the heart. For the sin of man (vv. 1–4 ), for the barren man (vv. 5 , 6 ), or the blessed man (vv. 7 , 8 ), God is the final Judge and renders His judgment for their works (cf. Rev 20:11–15 ). By Him, actions are weighed ( 1Sa 2:3 ).
