King James Version
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate:
for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way,
that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it.
SPIRIT led me to it last night.
On how the world could be better.
With a 6-word slogan:
No war.
No wastefulness.
Only WORSHIP.
Pretty self explanatory.
No war, for it's destructive.
JESUS asked we love each other.
John 13:34-35
King James Version
34 A new commandment I give unto you,
That ye love one another;
as I have loved you,
that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know
that ye are my disciples,
if ye have love one to another.
No wastefulness.
The world likes upgrading all the time, and dumping what are still usable things.
It's all vanity.
Ecclesiastes 1:14
King James Version
14 I have seen all the works
that are done under the sun;
and, behold,
all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Only WORSHIP.
Who do we worship?
A born again only worships GOD.
Exodus 20:1-6
King James Version
20 And God spake all these words,
saying,
2 I am the Lord thy God,
which have brought thee
out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee
any graven image,
or any likeness of any thing
that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them,
nor serve them:
for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation
of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands
of them that love me,
and keep my commandments.
A born again keeps things simple.
Almost childlike.
JESUS asks we "become as little children".
Matthew 18:3-4
King James Version
3 And said,
Verily I say unto you,
Except ye be converted,
and become as little children,
ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself
as this little child,
the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
TRUE born agains purposely keep life simple.
That we may focus on CHRIST alone.
Colossians 3:1-2
King James Version
3 If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.
