We placed the blood on the doorposts of our hearts, were spared death, delivered
from our slavery to sin and our captors were washed away. (See PASSOVER Part 1: Doorposts of Our Hearts)
Then we tried to worship the Almighty in the ways we had learned from the pagans. (See PASSOVER Part 2: Into the Desert)
Now we are headed to check out the promised land. The reports have come back that the Land has enormous fruit and is flowing with milk and honey! So why don't we go in? Our faith is so weak that we think that Father, who through his grace saved us from our captivity, can't empower us to overcome another enemy. Only 2 people out of the saved multitude ultimately entered the promised land. How sad and stubborn is that?
Unfortunately for us, we are in the same place! Messiah has clearly stated that while our faith has saved us, we must obey Father's commandments to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. However, whenever the multitudes hear this, they refuse! They say it is impossible to obey and enter the Kingdom. They have no more faith in their Creator than the children of Israel had in the desert. The majority will fall in the wilderness. Only a couple will trust the Almighty to empower them to overcome their sinful nature allowing them to enter the Promised Kingdom of Heaven.
How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it. Matthew 7:14
