13: Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

NARROW IS THE WAY which leadeth unto life....do you want to remain friends with the world, or forsake all, and follow Jesus?
 
Yes Christ is the only way and to follow Him is to forsake everything even our own lives..Wouldn't you agree..BUT how many are willing to give up everything, like the rich man are we like the rich man living in a nation where you can have anything you want almost.
One thing i would like to share is in my own life the things i struggle with the Lord brings them to mind so i will give them to Him ( sacrifice moreless ). Today is a hard day especially being my birthday and nothing is going well but the one thing The Lord is showing me is its time to be a servant not to be served.After all thats what being a Christ like individual is a Servant of Jesus Christ
ps I must decrease and Christ must increase.......
 
Happy Birthday!

Be glad! You're saved, and you have discernment! Praise God for that!

how many are willing to give up everything,...

Giving up everything is mental and sometimes physical. Realizing that Jesus gave you everything you have, and you OWN nothing, and all that you have is to be used FOR Him, for the preaching of the Gospel, for spreading the Word, realizing that is most of the battle.

Some people like to spend their free time in trivial pursuits, that have nothing to do with glorifying God, or telling people about Christianity,and, it ends up coming out of their mouths.
Very sad.

Giving up everything, knowing that you are NOT in control of anyone but yourself, will make you free.
God gave Job back everything and everyone he lost. Job never gave in, never cursed God, never
did anything but remain humble in his mind and mouth.

Thank Jesus for everything you have, and for everyone in your family. Ask Him how you might become more Christlike.
 
I'm wondering if ANYone in here knows what it's like to walk the straight and narrow path.

Can anyone in here give examples of what they do, or don't do, in order to keep their hearts pure, and their minds and lives HOLY?
 
You want the simple version or the long version...lol. I'll start with the simple version. Follow Christ get to know the Holy spirit and 3rd Deny yourself and pick up your cross daily.
Sounds simple does it. I will add another thing to it though. Find a sister or brother in Christ you can Share your innermost thoughts with. PS i havn't found that one yet...
What it isn't. Being faithful to your Church. Keeping attendance or whatever worldly pressure is put on you by organized religion.
 
I don't think you will find a sister or brother in Christ, in here, unless you look really hard.

This forum is sparse, has very few Christians. Most want to be as worldly as possible, play around in sin, and then just skip along their merry way, the broad path, mocking anyone and everyone who begs them to come out from among them, and be separate.

Thats a bit judgemental, I say. Do you know the hearts of all these folks?
 
45: A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
46: And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

7: But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8: For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9: To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10: To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits;

9: I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11: But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12: For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13: But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
+++++++++++++++++++++
1: Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2: Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3: Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
4: If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
5: I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
6: But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
7: Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8: Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
9: Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10: Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

You quote scripture. I asked you if you know the hearts of all these folks before you condemn them for not being real Christians.
