The Bible constantly speaks of two ways. These ways are the Way of Life and the Way of Death. Now the Bible as a road map tells us to follow the way of life. At the same time it warns us of the disaster that can happen to us if we follow the way of death.

The way of life leads you to eternal life. The gate that leads to it is small and narrow. Only a few choose to travel on it. The travelers on this road obey God. It is the way of holiness. Those who travel on this road are wise. Above all they love God. And His blessings rest on their lives.

But the way of death leads you to destruction. The gate that leads to it is wide. The road is also broad. And many choose to travel on it. The travelers on this road disobey God. It is a way of uncleanness. Many who travel on this road are fools. They hate God and even deny His existence. They also love wickedness. And the curse of God shall fall upon their lives.

Travel on the way of life may at times be hard and filled with suffering. Feelings of loneliness may strike at any moment. Darkness can cloud the path unexpectedly. Yet in the end the path will shine with light.

But travel on the way of death is almost a carefree one. Those who travel on it will always have company. The way is dark always; but lit by dim lights that shade the sinful acts. There are lots of byroads. And there are lots of houses of various pleasures in them. There are colorful lamps hung out in front of them inviting people to visit. And like flies attracted by the brightness of the flames people go in and perish. Travel on this road ends in the powerful jaws of death.

So there are two roads that the Bible describes. The way of life and the way of death. You can travel on any one of these ways. It is your choice. But God is asking you this day to choose the way of life which takes you to freedom. Not only shall He bless you for this choice; but He shall also reward you for your obedience at the end of your journey.
