Bible Question: what doe's matthew 7:12-14 says? |
Bible Answer: Matthew 7:12 says: "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the law and the Prophets, In other words, do unto others as you want them to do unto you. If you want them to walk an extra mile with you, you walk an extra mile with them first. Matthew 7:13 says: "Enter by the narrow gate for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Enter through life and start living by entering into Jesus Life and following his path. In other words, change your lifestyle for the better. The Narrow gate is God's way. The way to destruction is the world's way, such as do as you please and follow your carnal desires, human desires such as alcohol, drugs, overeating, overreacting, hating others, fighting, revenge, all these leads to destruction. There are millions who follow this way. Matthew 7:14 says: "Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Do what Jesus Christ says to do in Matthew Chapters 5 through 7 and you are going to find out that his way is very very narrow and very very difficult. By actually doing what he says you become a different person and your life seems so narrow, you think you might go crazy and quit. This is what the world calls a narrow minded person. But God calls you wise. It is very difficult to follow Christ's narrow way, you must fight within your ownself to win over your carnal desires, this is why only few will find it. You can only do it if you ask God for Strength, Courgage and Wisdom; and rely on the Holy Spirit, God and Jesus Christ. Overcome the carnal desires of the world and you will find out how really narrow God's gate is. At the end you will be an entirely different person, and you will be at ease, in peace and happy, but you will always have tribulations. In God's name, Martha, |
