The Two Roads In life To Choose From!

The road to life, is a narrow road states the Bible. But wide is the road that leads to destruction and death.

If you think about how many people that have roamed, lived and died in this world of ours, what are the the roads chosen by them.  There are only two choices, narrow or wide. 

One life is all we have here on Earth. We often go through each day thinking about what we need to do.  We stress about petty things all day long.  Bills, money, food, oil in the ocean, sickness and many others.  We don't spend a lot of time stressing about the two roads to choose about life or death.  I don't think I spend enough time thinking about either one.  A lot of times those roads seem unimportant to me.  Daily life keeps thinking about my own problems all the time.  When you really take the time to ponder the two roads, it can really get you back on you track.  The two roads allow you to think about how you should live here upon our Earth.  It scares me to think about the possibilty of going to judgement and God telling me that I am not making the Heavenly team because I thought that Earthly decisions were more important than having a relationship with him. 

I read a book not to long ago that talked about the eternal punishment of Hell and it made some sense to me. The writer explained that Hell is not going to be a place of constant fire, but a place where those who haven't excepted Christ in this life here will be left in a state of constant misery and unsatisfaction.  I guess that is what we would feel like if God just left us here and went somewhere else.  We don't realize how lucky we are to be living in God's grace right now.  He holds us together because he is here and we can go to Him in any moment of life.  But to be without God would be a living Hell.  We don't know or even have a clue what that would feel like because He is here now. 

So why is the road to heaven a "narrow road?" Is it because many will not choose that road and the road to eternal punishment is wide because many choose that road. That's my guess!  It's time we put petty things behind us and remember we are here to choose the narrow road to eternal life.  Our lives should be a life of constant communication to our Lord above.  We need to include Him on every decision and praise Him for every gift He gives. That will keep us on the narrow to heaven!
