Your Decision Determines
Your Destiny!
We are all travellers through life. The Word of God makes clear that
there are but two roads to travel to our destination. Christ Himself
declared this fact in Matthew 7:13-14: “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.” There are but two ways,
the way to life and the way to destruction. There are but two roads,
the narrow and the broad. Everyone is on one road or the other.
The Lord has not hidden from us the road to heaven, the way of life,
or the path of salvation. In John 10:9 Jesus said, “I am the gate;
whoever enters through me will be saved.” Again in John 14:6, He said,
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me.” Christ is the road to life. All who receive Him
as Lord & Saviour are on their way to heaven. But the real fact is
that not all men are willing to enter the door or go by the way of
the Cross of Christ. Many seek their own way of salvation. Isaiah
53:6 says: “We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned
to his own way.” Solomon adds in Proverbs 14:12: “There is a way that
seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” Christ is
the gate and the way that leads to heaven and everlasting life. Rejection
of Christ is the way that leads to death and hell. On which road are
you?
Eternity is awaiting us all. Try as one might to dismiss the idea
of eternity, it cannot be avoided. We all must spend eternity somewhere.
Heaven and hell are clearly set before us in the Scriptures as the
destiny of the saved and unsaved respectively. Jesus announced to
His disciples, “In my Father’s house are many rooms…..I am going there
to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where
I am” John 14:2-3: He also says, “I am the gate; whoever enters through
me will be saved…..I have come that you may have life and have it
to the full.” John 10:9 To those who reject Christ and will not go
through the narrow gate Jesus warns, “How will you escape being condemned
to hell?” He also warned, “The angels will come and separate the wicked
from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there
will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 13: 49-50: Jesus said,
“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many,
I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Hell will be
a horrible place. Words fail to describe the remorse and miseries
of hell. Likewise words fail to describe the beauty of heaven.
Choose the right destiny today and put your faith
this moment in the crucified, risen, eternal Son of God. Take Him
as your Lord and Saviour!
Make Your Decision For Christ By Praying To Him
Dear Lord Jesus, in obedience to Your command, I do here and now turn
from every known sin. I know I am a lost sinner. I believe You died
for sinners. I therefore now receive You now as my personal Lord and
Saviour. As God’s only Son You shed Your blood for the remission of
my sins. I take You as my guide to whom I will commit the direction
of my life and as my risen Saviour whom I will trust to keep me from
falling. Resting on the assurance of Your Word, I believe my sins
are forgiven, for Jesus’ sake. I take from You now, everlasting life.
