Matthew 7:13-14 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

We’re in a new year. All things from 2015 are behind us now, and we have once again returned to the Cross Roads. We have an excuse and a chance to start all over again, start new, and give this year to the Lord Jesus Christ and make Him King and Lord of our lives once and for all, with all that we have.

No more wavering back and forth like a ship tossed out on a sea. No more lukewarmness like the hypocrites, but standing firm on the foundations that are provided in the Word of God and resisting the desires of the flesh.

The time has come for us to stand against sin and if that means we have to stand alone in this world then that’s what it means.

We have the Holy Ghost of God that we are sealed with and Jesus said he would never forsake us. Although the enemy would like to make us feel like we’re alone, we are not! There is a Heavenly Host that is encamped around the Saints of God!

Psalms 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

Job 1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

We are created to worship and serve God. Jesus Christ is the Lord of all and is due our lives filled with sacrifices, and the laying down of the carnal wants and desires of this world, because of what He has done for us through the work that was completed at the cross.

1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins ofthe whole world.

Through the fall of man in the Garden of Eden The Lord has made a plan to reconcile mankind back to him.

When Adam and Eve gave into temptation it gave Satan a legal right to have dominion over mankind.

Through direct disobedience to Gods warning, Adam and Eve severed the freedom from sin and bondage and became slaves to sin.

Genesis 3:17-19 17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Moses was then called to free the Israelites from the bondage of Egypt. God then gave Moses laws and decrees for His people to live by. Not to make heavy burdens on His people but to keep them from heartaches, sickness, death, and possible separation from Him eternally.

God gave Moses the 10 Commandments which are almost totally disregarded by mankind today, and even ignored by many Christians today.

Galatians 4:3-7 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an he
