“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” – Matthew 7:13-14
In our lives, whenever we face difficulties or are stuck in a situation we do not know how to resolve, we tend to take the wider path, meaning the easiest way out. This can mean the path we choose is not in the direction toward God and following His Word. Rather, we choose the path that we think is best for our well-being. God tells us to take the narrow path because, although it is presented with more hardships, it will give you life rather than destruction. When we take the harder way out of situations and learn to abide in God’s truth, we will learn that this is the only way, truth and life that we need.
