Why the Narrow Way is the Only Way - Matthew 7:13-28 (Session 11)

Jesus closes the Sermon on the Mount with a series of serious warnings and powerful illustrations.In Matthew 7:13-29, He contrasts the broad road that leads to destruction with the narrow gate that leads to life. The narrow way is not one spiritual option among many--it points to the one way to the Father through Jesus Christ.Glenn and Steve then examine Jesus’ warning about false prophets who appear in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. How can believers recognize false teachers? Jesus says to look at their fruit, especially their teaching, and compare it carefully with Scripture.The session also tackles the difficult words, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven,” and explains why outward religious activity, miracles, or Christian language are not substitutes for a genuine relationship with Christ.Finally, Jesus closes with the wise man who built his house on the rock and the foolish man who built on sand. Storms come to both--but only one foundation stands.Matthew 7:13–29 | The Book of Matthew — Session 11 Questions discussed in this session include:Are there many spiritual paths that are all valid?Are there people in churches who are not true believers? How do we tell if a person is a true Christian or a wolf in sheep’s clothing?What makes a true Christian? Support the showThank you for listening!!  Please give us a five-star rating to help your podcast provider's algorithm spread RTTB among their listeners. You can find free study and leader resources at the following link - Resource Page - Reasoning Through the BiblePlease prayerfully consider supporting RTTB to help us to continue providing content and free resources.
