"The Way to Heaven"
Is Through the Narrow Gate

Is there more than one way to Heaven? According to polls, a surprising number of people believe there is.

Even more surprising is that some of our modern day Christian churches are not confronting this issue.

The only reliable information concerning how to be saved can be found in God's written Word, not in the opinions of men. We must rely only upon His way.

"The Way" was a designation for early Christians. It was "The Way" then, and is "The Way to Heaven" now.

Christianity itself rests upon a "Plan of Salvation," so easy that even a child can understand.

This perfect plan must be maintained; else, those who follow the wrong teachings will spend eternity in Hell.

God's written Word tells us that the only way to Heaven is through what Jesus did on the cross.

• Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
  (John 14:5-7)
  
  
• "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16)
  
  
• "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12

God's Way

Based on the above Scripture the way to Heaven can only be found in God's Word.

Jesus said, "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." (Matt 7:13)

Only one Way to Heaven

According to Scripture, humanity is born spiritually separated from God, but God has provided a way to end this separation; that is by Faith in Jesus Christ, and what He did on the Cross.

The way to Heaven is through faith in Jesus, the small gate, and narrow road.

Peter said to allow God's Word to be "...a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts". (2 Peter 1:19)

Do not rely upon the opinions of men. Learn to search the Scriptures, and then believe what you find. Rely on God's Word; it will show you the way to Heaven.

Way to Heaven

"Lets Teach Our Children to Love"

Why is it so difficult for our educators and society, in general, to understand that love and respect for one another taught from a young age can solve much of the world's hostility and social problems!

"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it" (Prov 22:6).

Love is the answer!

Loyalty and Faithfulness

True loyalty springs from the heart and is wrapped in love. It is often in our most private moments that true loyalty, or the lack of it, is made known.
