The Gate And The Path Are Narrow That Leads To Eternal Life.

Entrance Into The Kingdom Is Narrow.

Enter you in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because narrow is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13-14.

Strive To Enter.

And Jesus went through the cities and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem. Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?” And Jesus said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from,’ then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’ Read More... “The Gate And The Path Are Narrow That Leads To Eternal Life.”

The Do Not’s Of Jesus.

Do Not Your Alms Before Men.

Take heed that you do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise, you have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore, when you do thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have the glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. Matthew 6;1-2.

Do Not Worry About Your Life.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?

And which of you, by worrying, can add one cubit to his stature? If you cannot do the least, why are you anxious for the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Read More... “The Do Not’s Of Jesus.”

Believers Must Be Doers Of The Word Of God.

Jesus Came To Do Father’s Will.

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: whoever comes to Me shall never hunger; and he that believes on Me shall never thirst.  But I said unto you, That you also have seen Me, and believe not.  All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me, and they that comes to Me I will in no wise cast out.  For I came down from heaven, not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me.  John 6:35-38.

Believing In Jesus Is The Father’s Will.

And this is the Father’s will Who has sent Me, that of all He has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.  And this is the will of the Father that sent Me, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:39-40.

Jesus Acknowledges Those Who Will Believe In Him.

Then His brothers and His mother came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him. And a multitude was sitting around Him; and they said to Jesus, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are outside seeking You.” Read More... “Believers Must Be Doers Of The Word Of God.”

In The World But Not Of The World.

Believers Are To Be In The World.

You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My Name, He may give it you. These things I command you, that you love one another. John 15:16-17.

I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. John 17:9-12.

Believers Will Be Hated By The World.

 If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world; therefore, the world hates you. John 15:18-19.

If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. Read More... “In The World But Not Of The World.”
