The narrow path

To become a selfless sacrificial lover in Christ is the polar opposite of Satan, the flesh and this world; although it is clearly the great command of Jesus!

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Matthew 16:24 KJV

What people do not realize is that to pick up ones cross; to die to ones self for Christ to rise within, is also the only truly fulfilling richly rewarding work on the planet!

It is to live to fulfill The Fathers-Gods will!

Jesus-Yeshua opened the the door and paved 'The Way' for us to follow Him home!

Let's face it head on; the narrow 'difficult' path is hard work; yet it is the one and only eternal fruit producing path; and therefor the only wise choice!

Salvation for the rebellious souls of man; comes at a cost! Just ask Jesus!

But God!

It is to walk on the feet of Jesus empowered and propelled by the Holy Spirit indwelling!

It is to live from within a constant peace-in-joy in ones heart! In this world; the Kingdom of God is within!

To live outside of the narrow path on the wide path is an absolutely wasted life! It is to remain rebellious; to snub God and to be ones own God, to live for self!

For to live for ones self, and all the good deeds of man-the flesh are in vain! The entire world system is egoism and vanity!

As we mature in Christ through obedience, self sacrifice and service to others; the more and more God reveals the truth of this world and just how evil, polluted and corrupt the entire system is at its core!

Over time, all of the things of this world grow strangely dim to us! We have filled our hearts with Christ; so we no longer desire the worldly temporal pleasures! No need! Christ has risen within; our hearts are full!

God reveals to those who are His; the truth of all things!

We now long and live only for-in Christ; as ambassadors of Jesus; to fulfill the great commission of serving-saving the lost! Led of the Holy Spirit; we are His Cisterns-vessels of living water!

Glory to God!

One cannot serve two masters! It's either self or Christ? Our will or Gods will?

To his great surprise, a mature follower of Jesus will one day hear himself say; "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain! It is He-Christ who lives and not I!"

O glory! Sweet glory! Praise God!

We must be emptied of self, in order to be fillled to overflowing in Christ! It's simple math!

After all; this world is a fake, ruled by the imposter! Very soon it will be burned up; not one stone left standing!

All this must take place for Jesus to establish His righteous Kingdom on the earth!
Out with the old and in with the new! Out with Satans rule and in with Jesus reign!

Those who love their life-this world; will loose it!

Those who loose their life for Christ sake; die to 'self' now in order to become fruitful branches of His holy divine vine; will save it for all eternity!

The wise virgins are looking up and ready for their bridegroom Jesus!

All true followers of Jesus will rise to be with Him in the New Jerusalem! The New heaven and earth!

It is absolutely our choice! We choose to remain rebellious with Satan; to be our own God and do whatever we please; or to receive the incomparable grace gift of the sin redemption blood of Jesus; being cleansed and putting God back on the throne in the throne room of our hearts!

When one wieghs out their options; the choice should be easy to make!

"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."
Romans 8:18

Converted in Christ through the redemptive work of Jesus on the cross; we are now but strangers in a foreign land! Exiles longing to return home! Our new beginning is so very near!

O glory! Sweet glory! All Praise to God The Father, Son and Holy Spirit!
