Ways off of the
Road to Hell!
God has
opportunities along the way to take us off of the road to
hell to the road that eventually leads to Him and eternal
life.
- Mat 7:13 (KJV) 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:
- Mat 7:14 (KJV) Because strait is the gate, and
narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be
that find it.
I. The road to hell which has lies that are paved by
Satan.
A. Wide is the way.
B. The Word says that many are going that way.
- Joel 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the
day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
C. This wide road leads to destruction.
II. The road to God is narrow.
A. Not many going this way of life, hope and love.
1. It is the only way to Salvation.
- John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
2. The narrow road leads to eternal life.
a. It is a road of Abundant Life.
- John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to
steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they
might have life, and that they might have it more
abundantly.
b. A way of Peace and Joy.
- John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace
I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
c. Sadly few seem to find it:
- Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are
chosen.
B. However it is road though narrow that has room for every one.
- Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved.
III. Signs all along the way declare that God loves us
and has provided a way for everyone to get to the Narrow
Way.
A. Here are just a few detours that God has to get us off of the road
to destruction to narrow road that leads to eternal life.
1. Local churches. In have them everywhere and they are like
lighthouses pointing the way to Christ.
2. Testimonies of God’s people that tell, live and
demonstrate the Gospel of Salvation.
3. The Bible with over 35,000 promises.
4. Gospel literature showing the way.
5. Gospel radio and television.
6. Revival meetings, in tents, churches and halls.
7. Street meetings and house-to-house evangelism.
8. Mother’s prayers and prayer of the saints.
9. There are others but the last one found before the gates
of hell, is Jesus Christ, crucified by the side of the road.
If you pass this last detour there is no hope in this life
or in the life to come.
IV. Everyone can get off of the wide road because God so
loved the world.
Jesus said in John 6:37 (KJV) All that the Father
giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will
in no wise cast out.
A. Let us be a beacon light shining for Jesus calling people
from the broad way to the narrow way. We are all workers
together with Christ.
