Entrance into
the kingdom of heaven is through the narrow way, not the wide route. What does
this mean for us? It means that the way of salvation is specific. There is no
ambiguity concerning it. Jesus has made himself clear on how one can enter
heaven. It won’t come by chance, it will come by obedience to those specific
instructions that Jesus has given. The way to salvation is the only way. There are
no many ways. If you are on it, then you are saved. If you are not on it, then
you are not saved. The scripture says, “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). The way to salvation is straight and not crooked in direction or
purpose of morals. It is not yes and no. it is always yes. It does not accept
anything whatsoever. Candidates of heaven are those who are not compromising in
their faith; those who are straight forward.
The kingdom
of heaven is something to be struggled for. One has to work for it. You have to
labour for it and make every effort to possess it. Whole hearted dedication and
absolute commitment are required to possess heaven. You have to be active in
your pursuit of heaven; not passive. It is something you have to do
immediately. You have to start making the efforts so that you can get there. You
have to start struggling for it, forfeiting sinful pleasures, subduing the
flesh and doing all the sacrifices in order to get there.
