The road to heaven

Back to Next Part Man's religion & God's religion 2


"But the gateway to life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it." Matthew 7:14

Man cannot obtain eternal life by any wisdom, any strength, any righteousness, or any goodness of his own. We are very slow learners in this school. The pride of our heart, our ignorance, and our unbelief—all conspire to make us diminish the difficulties of the way.

But the Lord has to teach us by painful experience that the road to heaven is so difficult that a man can only walk in it as he is put in and kept in it by an almighty hand.
