Pathway to Death

Hello hope you are all having a blessed Sunday!
I just wanted to talk about a few verses that God has placed on my mind recently and one that I looked up because it scared me quite a bit and I needed to understand it after reading one website in particular this is what I got. 
So the first verse was Proverbs 14: 12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. When I first read this I was scanning my head for all the things that are wrong in my life thinking what is God trying to say to me? So I decided to research the verse and found a commentary that spoke to me and also fit in with another verse that God has been showing me which is Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 

If you look around today there are so many religious beliefs, doctrines, parties and interpretations of scripture with some being more popular than others. Just because its popular with man it does NOT mean that this is the way to life. The way to life is narrow and there are few that will make it into heaven. Matthew 7:14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Notice the word FEW will find it, Jesus never says the way to heaven will be popular or many will enter the way he says FEW. So what is this way? How can we be sure that we are on the right path? Well if we read a few verses down. Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to me "Lord, Lord." will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. The people who will make it into heaven will be those who are DOING the will of the Father in heaven. Are we DOING the will of God? seeking God's will is good but not on its own are we actually DOING his will to? I don't sit here condemning you but I'm convicted too, we need to make sure that we are DOING the will or God and pursuing it. Matthew 7:24 "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Let's not lose sight of our calling and start practicing what Jesus taught us don't get distracted  by the popularity and distractions of other things which are irrelevant. Our lives need to be built on Jesus as the rock this involves repenting of sin and obeying all of his teaching this is the only way to eternal life any other foundation leads to death.

God Bless you,
