Peril of the standard method half 1

Pastor W. F. Kumuyi

From the starting and all through the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord Jesus Christ speaks in regards to the Kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God (Matthew 5:three,10,19,20; 6:33; 7:21). His focal point was on the fate of man. The Lord looks at existence as a experience, a adventure from time unto eternity. He displays that there are best two gates – the huge gate and the strait (slim) gate; most effective two ways – the broad manner and the narrow manner; handiest two locations – destruction and existence.
There are best two destinations to for any of us; the path we are treading will lead to both everlasting peace and happiness in heaven or eternal torments, sorrow and suffering in hell. The option we make of which gate we enter, which path, highway or means we stroll in will verify our last, eternal fate after this existence. God has ordained handiest two diverse areas to be the final, everlasting abodes of guys after this lifestyles, and between them, He has fixed a fine gulf in order that none can flow from the one to the different (Luke sixteen:26).
There are most effective two gates, the huge gate of multitudes, nearly all of the human race; and the slender gate of the few who make the appropriate choice, which God has ordained. And there are handiest two methods, the widespread way, the spacious street on which broadminded multitudes shuttle, and the narrow manner, the unpopular street traversed by means of the few who stroll and observe the Lord carefully and continually. There are only two locations, no longer three. Some non secular people have invented a 3rd destination, however is just an imaginary area of human invention, which does not exist. men enter throughout the extensive gate or the slender gate; there is not any third gate. guys go back and forth on the vast approach or the slim way; there is no third method.
There are only two classes of americans – believers or unbelievers, saints or sinners, the few or the numerous. we're either in the light or in darkness; in the reality or in error; among the few or among the multitude; both righteous or unrighteous. There is no third class. There are best two ends – the end of the large approach or the conclusion of the slim method. There are only two destinations for travelers journeying through life in the world – life or destruction. There are best two destinies – heaven or hell. where will you spend eternity? What road have you chosen? Some are already walking on the broadened entrance gate that results in degeneration.
"extensive is the gate." ancient cities have partitions around them, and that they have gates through which americans may also go out or come in. The extensive gates are spacious enough to admit guys and their loads or chariots whereas the strait, slender gates take simplest individuals with out loads or encumbrances. The examples of vast gates (for massive vehicles and automobiles) and slender gates (for pedestrians) are nonetheless very average in cities and communities nowadays. Our Lord, Jesus Christ, commonly used seen, general, natural issues for example spiritual, invisible, unknown, eternal realities. For travelers to get into the way resulting in their destination, they go during the extensive tollgate. The gate is the most effective avenue of admittance into the way and it ought to be taken as a way to reach the destination. All who enter the vast gate will travel on the wide manner and the most effective location this way ends up in is destruction, doom and damnatio n.
