The Way To Heaven

 


" Jesus saith unto, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the father but by me "  John 14:6

The way to heaven is on the cross of Calvary, Jesus Christ came as the way to heaven, no wonder he said,  " I am the  way " The way to heaven is only found in Jesus Christ of Nazareth,  it is the way of righteousness, it is the way of the cross and it is also described as the narrow way. " Because strait is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life and few there be that find it " Matthew 7:14 

The way to heaven is the narrow way that only a few who are willing to loose so much of weight in order to enter this narrow way can enter . On the narrow way to heaven is only a life of righteousness where obedience to the word of God is enforced. On this way to heaven is no sinful activity permitted. " And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatever worketh abomination or maketh a lie ,but they which are written in the lamb's book of life. " Revelations 21:27


The way to heaven is the way of purity, the only people who are liable to enter are the ones who are living a life of righteousness. The way to hear is not meant for those who commit iniquity, Jesus emphasised this, " Not everyone that saith unto me ,Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my father which is in heaven. 

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name cast out devils ? and in thy name done many wonderful works .And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you, depart from me ,ye that work iniquity, " Matthew 7: 21-23 

The way to heaven is the way of the righteous, and not the way of the hypocrites. The aforementioned portion of scripture explains that some people would be denied entrance to the kingdom of heaven because of their lifestyle of iniquities. The way to the kingdom of heaven, is the way of commitment where the body is a sacrifice to God .

 " I beseech you therefore, brethren , by the mercies of God ,that ye present your bodies as a living sacrifice ,holy ,acceptable,unto   God, which is your reasonable service  .And be not conformed tho this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God ." Romans 12:2
