The entrance ramp to the road of Christianity is narrow, as is the road itself.

Belief in the Lord Jesus Christ, faith alone in Christ alone, there is no other way.

John 14:6 “I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but by me.”

Fortunately for us, the road has well defined shoulders.  As outlined in the pages of the Bible.  The longer we can stay between the lines fixing our eyes on the road ahead, the greater our spiritual advance.  Resulting in improved inner happiness, contentment and faith in God’s plan for us.

We often veer off the road.  Seduced by the siren songs of the devil’s world.  As well as our own lusts and arrogance, and fall into the muck and mire of the ditch of carnality.  Once there, we are going nowhere.  We end up spinning our wheels in a frantic search for happiness.

All is not lost.  For when we come to our senses, humble ourselves and name our sins before God the Father, we will be forgiven.

1 John 1:9 “confess your sins and He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all

unrighteousness.”

Jesus Christ has already endured the punishment for those sins, God is free to forgive us.  Recover us from the ditch and put us back on the road of His righteousness and resuming our relationship with Him.  Then, we are to advance up the road, not dwelling in guilt of our past visits to the ditch.

Philippians 3:13,14  “Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet, but one thing I do: forgetting what which lies behind and pressing forward to what lies ahead!  I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Jesus Christ.”

The only enduring happiness is found on God’s highway, not the “my way highway”, which is only a ditch of desperation.
