Bible Question (short): What is the "straight and narrow gate"? |
Question (full): Country Girl, Jesus did more than "set a whole standard of behavior for the whole world." Was it really "His influence" that has preserved the world to date? What is "the straight and narrow gate to Heaven?" You indicated the possibility for man to "stay up with God's standard of doing anything decent" - is this ever possible according to God's Wotd, ie our righteousness is as "filthy rags" (Is 64:6)in God's sight. There is no one who does good (Ps 14:3) Rom 3:23 No one has met God's standard at any time (except One!). This being the case, how is one clothed with "fine linen?" Note, "It was GIVEN to her to clothe herself in fine linen" Where do our righteous acts come from? See John 15:5 What do you think will happen to the "good" things a believer does on his/her own initiative? Blessings, mommapbs |
