“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
There is only one way to heaven, and that is to repent of our sinful and rebellious ways and trust in Jesus and His cross for pardon and forgiveness; all other ways lead to eternal death and destruction. Sadly, most try to enter God’s kingdom in other ways – by church membership, following certain man-made rites and traditions, doing charitable works, etc. – but the end is condemnation because only in Christ and His cross is there forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
Grant that I repent of my evil ways, O Lord, and look to You for mercy for the sake of Your blood, shed on the cross to atone for my sins and the sins of the world. Amen.
