Two Paths, One Way - John MacArthur (Matthew

www.gty.org/res...
13 "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.
14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.
18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.
21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?'
23 And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'
24 "Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.
26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it."

Matthew 7:13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. Matthew 7:14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

[@stevenvacco7694]

I needed to hear this without thinking my salvation is self deceiving. This should be taught in every church

[@SuperOlivess]

this is as frightening as hell.

They are not dressed in wool "because wool is the clothing of a prophet". Check out Elijah. He had to have ravens bring him bread. He was certainly not dressed in Wool. And Jonah? That might tickle the big fish in the throat.😄But seriously, what it means is the false prophets look like just like sheep, talk like a sheep, and walk like a sheep. They look really good! But they are wolves. And don't be deceived, friends, this type of hidden wolf will point out the obvious wolf to you empathically. That's the wolf in wolf's clothing that even the world recognizes as false. No, Jesus warns you about the wolf in Sheep Clothing, and for a good reason. The bad fruit you can tell them by is a perverted gospel.

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.” - 1 Corinthian 1:18-19

don't like it ,stop trolling, go the atheist sites ,pat each other on the shoulder.

Thank you Mr. MacArthur ... Blessings 🙏

First of all you must understand this, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own passions 2 PETER 3:3

[@JonathanJones-w1s]

Lord Jesus Christ said I'm the way the truth and the life no man comes to the Father but by me. It's all about Lord Jesus Christ. John MacArthur preaches the truth so well... It's all about Lord Jesus Christ..

[@sasanka207]

Whatever happened to the Free gift? Salvation by grace through faith? Salvation is free, and it is an event. Discipleship is a sacrificial life. Friends, keep these separate. If you are honest, you know that this was an utterly confusing mess of mixing grace and works. The narrow gate is faith in Jesus. The wide gate is all other means of saving oneself including works. Notice, Matt 7 didn't end at "in you name have cast out devils". It continues! "and in your name have done many wonderful works?" Such as come to church 3 times a week, teach Sunday school, tithe, volunteer and bake cupcakes maybe? They tried to enter exactly by striving hard! But that's the wide way. Faith alone, Christ alone, Grace alone, that's biblical salvation. Then after you are a Believer, Jesus says to love him and serve him and to love the brethren. And it will cost you. But you will have rewards that are unperishable in heaven and blessing of walk with the Lord here. If you don't obey, your heavenly Father might discipline you. But you cannot lose your salvation, it is of the Lord. The above is not the Bible. Listen to preachers like Ralph Yankee Arnold and Thomas Cucuzza. It will all make sense. The devil wants to get you into confusion and depression to disable your Christian life.

Thank You so much Lord and God Jesus Christ for brother in Christ John MacArthur sermons and His Ministry " GRACE TO YOU."

[@billhenry2372]

This is clarity and pin point accuracy like I have never heard before. Pilate asked “What is truth?” This is the narrow gate, God”s path, the only way to eternal life. This is truth!

[@SGTROCK1942]

SO MANY CHOOSE THE WIDE GATE

[@d0g_0f_Christ0s]

Thank you Dr Macarthur, you are an invaluable asset to the spreading of the gospel. God bless.

[@36742650885]

i get sooo depressed questioning my salvation, my repentence,

[@36742650885]

thanks

[@36742650885]

so you can be saved.....then lost....and get ''saved again'' by confession of sins?

[@36742650885]

i cannot please God, i need Grace

[@36742650885]

IT is by faith alone not Faith + good works thats a perversion of the Gospel you can't mix Law and Grace they are 2 different covenants

[@Henry615389]

+don carson Do not get confused brother,u are right do not listen to others but only to the holy spirit.Only by Grace and not by works.Good works anyway will follow in accordance to your salvation and obedience.When you are save,you are save forever..when you sin do not worry you are constantly wash by the blood of Jesus just repent and give thanks for He has already forgiven you from past present and future sin.You are not happy when you sin don't you?God knows that,we are miserable when we sin.God bless you

[@AlohaYeshua]

PRAYING FOR OUR CHURCH AND EVERY CHURCH IN THE NAME OF JESUS THAT WILL PREACH THIS SERMON DEEPLY! I Love YOU YESHUA!!!

[@Slippin22]

YOULL SEE. Romans 1:18 men who suppress the truth by their wickedness,since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. Hebrews 9:27 Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,

[@JNCressey]

few -> narrow path to life many -> broad path to destruction. Ever considered that both heaven and hell are along the life path. And by taking the destruction path you will just die and have no afterlife. So many will just die and a few will be reborn into heaven or hell.

[@SGTROCK1942]

for you, thats what you want to beliive, then do ot.

[@idachildofgod]

😭😭😭😭

[@TheSpiritofTruthJoseph]

It's because you don't want to enter into the spiritual world which is by using psychedelics. 1 mushroom is used as baptism in spirit so Jesus can work through in Spirit, keep in mind he is the judge.

[@stevenvacco7694]

The scriptures seem to change, first it's if you believe your saved,then it seems to be a hard to get through narrow gate. I truly believe all of this is deception at a higher level than man could ever create. All religion is a deceptive.Are their actually anyone who really abodes with real Jesus?

[@stevewilliams5498]

He says that work based religion is wrong yet he commands that we follow all of these works in order to follow Jesus that we might go to heaven. Makes zero sense

[@terrylocklear2418]

Scuba Steve it's not about external performance but internal obedience to his work

[@tonycevallos7513]

So I'm hearing Pastor MacArthur here and I have one question. Is daily repentance considered a work? A human acheivement? What then should our daily lives with Chrsit be filled with? Stay in the world with no repentance,having Communion (The Lord's supper) together? Is that works as well? From what he's stating it seems we can just continue status quo, no repentance, no visisting the sick and sorrowful because that is considered a "work"? You see, thats what makes "Onse saved always saved" so dangerous. I guess then Ill go buy me a fifth of Jack daniels and a pack of smokes since repenting of that would be a "work". So what does entering thru the Narrow gate consist of ???

[@beauxdodson642]

Tony Cevallos: You do not understand.

[@Romans8Ministries]

The gate is narrow, and the path is also narrow. When we are born again, Romans 6 tells us that our old self was crucified with Christ and our sin nature was defeated. Pastor MacArthur is absolutely right about entering through the narrow gate; if you really do enter in by being born again to saving faith in Jesus Christ, you will walk in newness of life by virtue of your new self in Jesus. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed; the new has come." (2 Corinthians 5:17)

[@terrylocklear2418]

Tony Cevallos to enter the narrow gate consist of faith faith in the atoning work of Christ and him crucified

[@alexdahn5329]

It's nice to be able to make a comment on McArthur for he won't allow it on Grace uploads. Well, Mr McArthur you are afraid of the Holy Spirit. Don't you realise that 'tongues' is the way to defeat the power of the tongue over us (St James)? This gift allows us nothing but humility and gratitude to the governance of Jesus himself.

[@stevenvacco7694]

Be weary of the religion of chapter and verse. Funny you don't see any of these people who claim to have the spirit of God, but can't heal.All they can do is read the bible.They show no power of the spirit at all.
