GOING STRAIGHT 3

Deuteronomy 5:32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

THE WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE IS STRAIGHT AND NARROW

There is a feeling among some today that think that we are trying to find the easy way out by not depending on good works, church ordinances, rituals or acts of personal sacrifice. It takes some humility to accept the fact that there is nothing I can do. In no way can I ever be acceptable to God besides through His grace and the sacrifice Jesus made for me.

Pride will send a lot of people to hell. It might be hard to accept the fact that I deserve to go to hell but it really makes me thankful that I don't have to because God loved me enough to send His only begotten Son to die and pay the sin debt that I owe.

Knowing that Jesus loved me enough to suffer for me and die for me that I (who does not deserve it) might have eternal life causes me to serve Him out of a thankful Heart. I can stay focused on Him and not on me and my works and whether I can be good enough or not.

That is cause for rejoicing.
