“Why…he’s so narrow-minded he can look through a key hole with both eyes at the same time.”  Ever heard that one before?  Your memory would have to go back to the days of actual keyholes that were big enough to get a “skeleton” key into them to turn the lock tumblers to open the door. You could actually look through them. There are some of us who are thought to be very narrow-minded concerning some of the issues of life. To be more specific, I’m thinking of spiritual things and the Bible. Of course, the most important issue in life is the matter of salvation from sin and receiving eternal life…and that is the narrowest of issues. How narrow?  There is only one way to be saved from sin…through only one Person. His name is Jesus. Nothing, or no one else. Jesus.

 

Matthew 7:13-14

13 “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 “For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

 

John 14:6

Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”

 

Acts 4:12

“And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

 

“The essence of sin is arrogance; the essence of salvation is submission.” ~ Alan Redpath

 

The Lord bless you and keep you…
