Matt.7:13 "Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it.

Some people are naturally proned to righteous in doing good according to God’s commandments. While others fight just to be nice throughout the day, and wonder how in the world will I threw the narrow gates that few can find? Will your right if eternal life depended upon human righteousness under the Old Law, that is, how closely we can convince others that we obey the Old Law, than perhaps we are all in real trouble?

But thankfully it does not depend upon righteousness, but rather in our faith in Christ Jesus, what does that mean? Well it means that you believe/put faith in God that God will change our hearts that our new personality is completely depended upon God’s will, and not our own self will. Do understand how that levels the playing field so all can be accepted rather then gaining merit by controlling our lust of our flesh. Still not convinced? Well consider this, our righteousness is not us or the Old Law, but Christ Jesus. God has given us Christ Jesus righteousness when our faith accepts him, and that my friend is why if we break one point of the Old Law we have violated all the Old Law and it convicts us of death.

May we sing the song amazing grace when we have hate in our hearts for one another, or we lust for the opposite sex in our hearts; may we thank God for Christ Jesus blood that covers our sins and God love that forgiveness? For if the narrow road depends on personal worth, goodness, or merit, then none of us will find it!
