The Narrow Gate: Only A Few

The rest of the process of discipleship is about
transformation, the transformation of your heart,
mind and spirit. God wants to transform you. He
wants to change your heart. He wants to take you
out of this world and to live in His kingdom. So the
rest of your life will be about constant
transformation. Slowly, day by day, as you sit at the
feet of Jesus and learn from Him, being guided by
the Holy Spirit, you will be transformed and
experience the abundant life that God has planned
for you.

God has the good life planned for you. In fact, the
best life. These are the things you will begin to
experience as you begin to encounter the new life in
Christ:
Peace. Peace in your heart and peace with God.
Absolute peace that cannot be shaken regardless of
the circumstance.
Forgiveness. Forgiveness from God and then the
ability to forgive others. Assurance that your sins
have been forgiven and you are now in right
standing with God.
Freedom. Freedom from past hurts, addictions and
from the corrupt desires of this world.
Healing. Healing from broken relationships and any
guilt you may be carrying.

Hope. Hope of the future and of a better life. Hope
of being in heaven forever in the presence of God.
Love. A new love in your heart that you didn’t
know existed in the world.
Joy. A joy unimaginable that you didn’t think was
possible in this life.
Purpose. You will now begin to live out the life that
God has purposed for you, the purpose just for you
that He has planned since the beginning of the
world.
Most importantly – A restored relationship with
God, your Creator, the one who gave you life. This
relationship begins today and then lasts forever into
eternity.

This is the abundant life that Jesus talks about that
God wants all of His children to have.
