There Is A Way !

Common Sense Commentary: "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the ends thereof are the ways of death."  Psm.14:12.     There was, in the ancient Cuman-Qipcaq language, a common greeting, farewell or toast ... Yol Bolsun ..."May there be a way" or road.  There has, since Eden, been within the nature of men, a searching spirit ... seeking a way.  A way to happiness, a better life, a more secure and comfortable home, sufficient food sources and above all, a way to God.  When men/women cannot find a way to God, they invent ways ... to their own satisfaction... false gods in the form of idols, animals, heroes and religious dogma or superstition. There must be many thousands of such false ways and false gods.  "Their land is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made." Isa. 2:8.   "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes." Prov.12:15.

Once embraced, these false religions and false gods embed themselves as an unholy parasite in the soul of it's host worshipers ... eating away deterring factors of conscience, reason, and the "still small voice" of their Creator God.  Nature and the universe give clear and constant testimony of the one true God.  "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork."  Psm.19:1.

If there are ten million other ways, there are ten million ways to hell but just one way to heaven.  every single way devised by men or devils is a false way ... though broad and all inclusive they may be.  As Jesus, Himself warned in Matt.7:13-14, "Enter ye in at the straight gate: for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.  Because straight is the gate and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."  The reason the right gate, the straight gate is narrow, is because it is singular, one way only ... the Jesus way.  "Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12. Only that single, narrow way leads to life and that is the Jesus way.  He declared plainly, " I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh to the Father but by me."  John14:9.

As that great old prophet, Isaiah prophesied, "This is THE WAY, walk ye in it." Isa.30:21.
