The Parable Of The Narrow Door Part 2

The denial of ourselves
Jesus said "Repent. Enter through the narrow door, through the narrow gate"
people claim to:
follow God
but if you haven't repented:
you don't understand the provision of the Lord in Jesus Christ for your sins
you have not responded in the way that everyone must respond to Jesus’ message
you don't understand your fundamental problem
have a relationship with God
know God
condition of sin
Post-Fall Man

Unable to not sin
Reborn Man

two exercises to get through the narrow door
Be still and find the presence of God
Prayer has become the hardest thing in the world for us to do.
The word of the Lord that comes to us with great clarity
We do not read it, we do not love it, we have become almost incapable of meditating upon it.
We turn away from the word of the Lord that we do understand
Grace and Repentance
For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God”
Ephesians 2:8
“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, “made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.”
Ephesians 2:4-5
