SMALL IS THE GATE ... AND ONLY A FEW FIND IT

May 25 - Start Your Day Right Devotion

Matthew 7:14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

SMALL IS THE GATE ...
​AND ONLY A FEW FIND IT. 

Christ taught that we are not to expect a majority of people to follow Him on the road that leads to eternal life with God. 

1. Comparatively few will pass through the gate of godly humility and true repentance (Matthew 3:2) - turning from and denying their own way in order to follow Jesus. This means doing all that we can to obey His commands, pursuing His purposes and standards, and pressing on through the difficulties of life with true faith, purity and love. 
2. In His, Sermon on the Mount, Jesus describes the great benefits and blessings that go along with being His disciple (a disciplined follower, learner, Matthew 5:3-12). Jesus taught that following Him is costly. It involves making difficult choices and going through difficult situations at times. There are obligations concerning right living, pressing on in faith through persecution, love for our enemies and self-denial. The initial step of surrendering to Christ and accepting His forgiveness for sin may not be difficult but trusting Him to make the necessary life changes and continuing to follow Him, no matter what, is not an easy path to follow and will test our faith extremely.
