"The narrow and wide gates"

The bible says, in Matthew chapter 7, there are two gates: The narrow and wide gates. It says to enter the narrow one for it leads to life. That means it is the gate to heaven and you will have eternal life there. Also the bible says not to enter the wide gate with broad roads for it leads to destruction. That means it is the gate to hell and if you enter that one you will burn in fire forever. This is talking about something very simple actually....it talks about how we need to accept Christ as Savior. That is the defition of the narrow gate. If we ask the Lord to come into our hearts and forgive us of our sins....we enter through the narrow gate, the gate to heaven. If we do not ask him this and live for our own ways, we enter through the wide gate, the gate to hell. It is your choice. Simple.

Matthew 7:13-14
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
