The Path to Distruction

" 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." (Matthew 7:13-14) Many times I have been denied access to an event or a gated community because I either left late; forgot an access code or card; or failed to let someone know that I was coming. I was left with a feeling of helplessness and frustration. Those feelings will be nothing compared to the feeling of being denied access to the gates of heaven. Our access to heaven depends on the life we choose to live here on earth. It depends on whether we choose to serve Jesus Christ or Satan. Will you have gate trouble on judgment day? Remember, " And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God: and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." ( Revelation 20: 12-15 )..." And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie; but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life." ( Revelation 21:27 )
