The Wide Gate

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: The Wide Gate

If the narrow gate is repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, then the wide gate is every other way people try to approach God.

Please notice that those who enter the wide gate believe they are going to end up at Life. The Wide Gate doesn’t symbolize all those who know they are headed for destruction like mass murderers and rapists.
All on both paths think they are headed for heaven. Notice the context. Mt.7:21-23 says, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.”

These people who claim to have prophesied, cast out demons and done miracles expected that they were on their way to heaven.
However, they end up in Hell! Those who enter the wide gate think they are going to heaven, but they are horribly deceived. These are the people who trust in their morality, their own human righteousness.

Those who enter the wide gate include every person who has embraced any religion in which they are not trusting completely in Jesus Christ. This includes Moslems, Budhists, Jews, Hindus, and all cults. It’s a wide gate, because you can seek to approach God many different ways through this gate.
The people who enter through the wide gate have this as their slogan – “all paths lead to God.” Oh, how sadly and miserably they are deceived! Christ love you and you can still come back to the narrow gate which is the Lord Jesus Christ before it too late.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME
TAKE ME OUT OF THE BROADWAY AND SHOW ME YOUR TRUE WAY IN JESUS NAME.
