Two Ways

Matthew 7:13-14"You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell* is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.

It is sobering to realize that the multitudes who believe that all people are “going to the same place” actually are all going to the same place, for they are all traveling the broad way to destruction. It was God Himself, through Jesus Christ, who said that few (few!) ever find the way to eternal life. That narrow way to life is only through Christ, who said,

John 14:6Jesus told him,"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

The word for “way” in both Old and New Testaments means a road, or journey. Figuratively, it is often used for a lifestyle. The Bible makes it plain, again and again, that there are two ways and two destinies:

Psalm 1:6For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.

The first “way” mentioned in Scripture is in Genesis 3:24“the way of the tree of life,” guarded by mighty cherubim and a flaming sword after Adam and Eve had rejected the authority of their Creator.

The second “way” mentioned is when God observed all this corruption in the world, for everyone on earth was corrupt. So God said to Noah, "I have decided to destroy all living creatures, for they have filled the earth (their way) with violence. Yes, I will wipe them all out along with the earth!

The great tragedy is that while there are relatively few in Revelation 22:14who “do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life”,

The way is freely open, through Christ, to all who will come to Him. Therefore, each sincere soul should pray,

Psalm 139:23-24“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting”
