Choose Life!
By Robert A. Searles
“Enter ye in at the strait gate;
for wide is the gate, and broad the way, that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be that go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and
narrow is the way , which leadeth unto life, and few there be that
find it.” Matthew 7: 13, 14 (KJV).
If we are saved, and if we know
that we are saved and on our way to heaven, stop and think of just
how fortunate and blessed we are. O all the multitudes of people in
the world, we are among the few who are saved and have heaven and the
paradise of God to which we can look forward.
Most people who have been born into
this world, and there are multitudes, both dead and living, who have
walked the broad highway of death and eternal destruction, and will
spend eternity in hell, having neglected, and rejected God's offer of
forgiveness and salvation. How precious we ought to esteem the grace
of God that has been extended to us through the Lord Jesus Christ!
How we ought to treasure this great inheritance we have in Christ!
Relatively few people have received
it, although God is not willing that any should perish, and his grace
is extended to all who will hear and respond to his call. Blessed are
all those whom God has caused to be born into the family of God,
and have entered the narrow gate that leads to eternal life.
How great is our God, and how great and
how precious is our salvation!
