01.08.2015 New Testament: Matt 7.13–14

To read the Bible in a year, read Matthew 7 on January 8, In the year of our Lord 2015

By Don Ruhl

The Lord pours out His grace and mercy generously! Praise the Lord! However, that does not release us from our obligation to obey Him, but it ought to move us to give all our effort to live according to His teachings. He taught in the Sermon on the Mount,

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7.13–14). 

If you just do what everyone else does and believe whatever they believe, you may be on the way that leads to destruction. Quick! Look at your life, compare it with the teachings of Jesus Christ, make the necessary adjustments, and find yourself on the narrow way.
