Beloved, there is a way from earth to Heaven, from sin to holiness, from condemnation to justification, from eternal death to eternal life!
That way is Jesus, to that way you are welcome. In that way you may walk and find peace with God, enjoy communion with Jesus, escape dangers, and obtain everlasting life.
You will either walk in it or you will not. If you will not, there is but one other way, and that is the way of eternal death!
Therefore Jesus exhorts in another place. "Strive to enter in at the strait gate," strive as if in an agony, as if eternal life and eternal glory depended upon it, strive, nor leave off striving, until you are safe through the gate, and traveling in the way to eternal glory!
[James Smith]
Jeremiah 31:21 ... Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
Isaiah 35:8 ... And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
Proverbs 16:17 ... The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
Matthew 7:13-14 ... Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.❤
