Walk the line

Walk The Line. Has anyone seen that movie? If you haven’t it is a really good movie about Johnny Cash and his life. But the title, Walk The Line, how true that is for our journey back to God. Back to the Cross. Back to Jesus. Back to Salvation.
To walk the narrow gate is not an easy path. It isn’t meant to be easy. You need to prove that you are capable of following God’s will over your own. Look at David. He was told he was anointed King when he was a teen-ager but how long did it take for him to inherit his kingdom? He waited 40 years. 40 years before King Saul was no longer in charge. Could you wait 40 years to receive something that God promised you? Would you wait or would you go well I was told that I would be king so I am just going to go kill the current king and then I can start being in charge.
Let’s face it, most of us would go kill the current king to get what we think we should have now. Look in your heart, you know I’m right. But here’s the thing that is not doing the will of God. That is doing what you think is right and ignoring what God has said. That is not walking the line.
To walk the line, or walk the narrow gate, we must do Gods will over our own. We must remember at all times that we serve the Lord. We must remember at all times that Jesus died on that cross for us. PASTOR JOHN COLLINS at BRINGING BACK GOD in BRISTOL, TN states, “Jesus died on the cross for us. He had his left hand in Gods and his right hand stretched out to the sinners, uniting them so that we may enter the Kingdom of Heaven. By dying in that cross, Jesus stamped us his. He made the debt we owe paid. The path to hell is wide but the narrow gate is hard and long. That is the path we need to take.” That is the path I want to take. I want to walk the line, stay on that narrow path, and get to the gates of heaven and be allowed in by Gods grace and mercy.
The Bible references this many times. Matthew 7:13-14 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: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Isaiah 35:8 And an highway hall be there, and a way, and is shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but is shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. Luke 13:24
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek t enter in, and shall not be able.
You see, it is all over the bible. In the Old and the New. So walk the narrow gate. Do what is right in your heart not in your head. Do God’s will first and foremost always. Walk The Line and then you will get to see the glorious Kingdom of Heaven.
