The Wide Gate, or the Narrow gate, that leads to Heaven? (See note below)

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.
This is a beautiful reminder, that in our marriage, we are on display to be an example of how this works. Some days, better than others, but we are all a work in progress , until one day we will be completely perfected.
Father, in the business of life, help us always remember, that what we do, is in line with your plans, and not our own selfish pursuits. Forgive us, when we veer off, and guide us in your everlasting ways.
The Lord is my Shepherd……

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul. Psalms 23:1-3a
The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread? Psalms 27:1
A Time to Pray
This is “Amazing Grace”

We have the ultimate shepherd, who never wavered, to sacrifice his very life,. He experienced what no God, should have to suffer, so that those who recognized, his substitutional sacrifice was for their own sins, would live with him forever. He was fully God and fully Man, and took on our punishment, that those who would believe this in faith, would live!
