Text: Galatians 5:19-25
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
How do you ascertain whether you are on the narrow or broad highway? It’s very simple. The Lord says, “Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. By their fruit you will recognize them.” Matthew 7:16-18.
The word of God says categorically that the following of souls are already on the broad highway which leads to destruction:
“But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” Revelation 21: 8
When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. In their own case the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in their lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness, and self-control. Those who are on the narrow way live by the Spirit, and follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of their lives.
Jesus Christ is the Narrow Way to eternity with God. Enter through Him today!
Action Nugget: Nail the passions and desires of your sinful nature to the Cross of Jesus Christ and crucified them there.
