The assumption is that there are two gates that lead to heaven. The wide gate is all religions of works and self righteousness that lead to destruction. Jesus said that the narrow gate is to follow him by faith, which is the only way to salvation. This is the narrow gate. It is by Grace alone, but it is not an easy path. It takes knowledge of God’s truth, repentance, and submission to Jesus’s path, and not our own. Thank you Jesus, for you Holy Spirit, that helps us on that narrow path, to all who choose to follow it.

“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.

He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.”

The Christian life, is not about remembering a point in time. Salvation is about that, but it is just the beginning. We are called to follow Jesus, and that is not an intellectual exercise. The Bible says that even the demons acknowledge Jesus and shutter! We are Called to Read and study, meditate and pray, serve one another, minister to the weak and poor, share His Story…..You get the idea. If you have been, negligent in this area, confess it. We serve a gracious God who forgives, and separates our sins, as far as the East is from the West. Is that not Amazing! Let’s go out today, filled with the Spirit, and see what God will do. Please share if you see his work in your life today. I know I have already this morning. I had no idea I would be writing this, even after I saw the verse. God is so Good. Thank you Jesus!

The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:9 NASB

When we are weak, then we are strong, through your Holy Spirit, that you sent for us, Jesus. Thank you!

Arw27

In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;
ROMANS 8:26 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/rom.8.26/309

Let me try and paraphrase this verse……..Fill your mind with God’s word, and you will be filled with his spirit, which Jesus sent to help us walk with him. Fill your mind, with the things of this world, and you will be like the world, around you. A sobering thought, as to how quickly we can lose our way!

Arw27

Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life.
PROVERBS 4:23 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/pro.4.23/306

The Hebrew word for peace is “Shalom”. It can only be truly felt, by those who have surrendered their life to Jesus. I might add, that it is a daily battle that rages that one must continually, give over to Jesus. The comfort, the joy, the Shalom, that we have, as we say, not my will, but yours, Lord. May your day be fill with Shalom, as you are filled with his spirit today. God Bless.

Arw27

Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
JOHN 14:27 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/jhn.14.27/34723

Father, thank you for sending Jesus to rescue us. Even though, we still live in these sinful bodies, you see us as sinless, because of Jesus. May you fill us with your Spirit, and may you motivate us, to live a life of faith, knowing that if we stumble, you got our back!

Arw27

I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
GALATIANS 2:20 NASB

Lord, may our hearts humbly bow before you, in persistent prayer. May we be alert, to the needs of others, so we might lift them up. Reveal yourself to us, through answered prayer, even though it may not be, what we wanted the outcome to be. May we always remember, that you care about us and love hearing our petitions.

Arw27

Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;
COLOSSIANS 4:2 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.4.2.NASB

There will be a time of Judgement, but the Lord waits patiently, to give all a chance to repent, and turn to Jesus. He does not want any to perish. Won’t you give your heart to him today? Can you feel the spirit tugging on your heart. Don’t wait, be a part of something, so much greater than yourself. Stop right now, and say, Lord, I want to follow you. I give my life, for you to use, for your will, not mine. Thank you for saving me, by your sacrifice, and death on a cross. Thank you also, for rising, and conquering death, and the promise of life eternal. Amen!

Is there anything unclear about this? It’s no one, not just some people. It’s everyone, not just the people we like. Sound easy, not for me! Lord, may we rely on you word, and fill us with you Holy Spirit, that Jesus promised he would send, when he left. Forgive us when we fail, and help us not to grow weary, as we grow in our love for others.

Arw27

See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people.
