There is a narrow path to life. And many deviate from it. They either turn to the left (selling people on the false idea that God’s grace was shed so that we can go on in deliberate sin without fear of being told that Christ never knew us) or they turn to the right (commanding you to uphold both the law of Moses and the law of Christ, but they miss the fact that we serve in the newness of the Spirit). I (though not I, but God’s grace within me) spent a year or more tearing down everything that hinders people from seeing the narrow path and how we can follow it by following Christ’s example, receiving the Holy Spirit, and then walking in the Spirit’s perfection as we allow God to sanctify us until the day of the Lord Jesus Christ.
It all really just boils down to faith, hope, and love. If you have faith that God can make you a new creation in Christ, and you love Him enough to want that, then you’ll get what you hope for.
Then he touched their eyes and said, โBecause of your faith, it will happen.โ – Matthew 9:29
And he said to her, โDaughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.โ – Mark 5:34
โYou donโt have enough faith,โ Jesus told them. โI tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, โMove from here to there,โ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.โ – Matthew 17:20
Jesus replied, โโYou must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.โ – Matthew 22:37
Delight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday. – Psalm 37:4-6
Then you will know that I am the Lord.
Those who trust in me will never be put to shame.โ – Isaiah 49:23c
Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. – Hebrews 11:1
For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. – Romans 8:24-25
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, – I Peter 1:3
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. – I Corinthians 13:13
Wake up! Strengthen what little remains, for even what is left is almost dead. I find that your actions do not meet the requirements of my God. – Revelation 3:2
Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed. – Hebrews 12:12-13
