The narrow way

The Narrow way many Christians do not even know what that truly means. Most just ingore it figuring that since they go to church they are walking the Narrow way. When in reality many do not walk this path out of fear or simply just to fit in but we are called to walk this path. We walk off of it for a few minutes we are off the path and outside of God's will. 

Matthew 7 13-14 

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Now how do we stay on this path let alone find it. Well I think Dietrich Bonhoeffer in The Cost of Discipleship said it best.

“To be called to a life of extraordinary quality, to live up to it, and yet to be unconscious of it is indeed a narrow way. To confess and testify to the truth as it is in Jesus, and at the same time to love the enemies of that truth, his enemies and ours, and to love them with the infinite love of Jesus Christ, is indeed a narrow way. To believe the promise of Jesus that his followers shall possess the earth, and at the same time to face our enemies unarmed and defenceless, preferring to incur injustice rather than to do wrong ourselves, is indeed a narrow way. To see the weakness and wrong in others, and at the same time refrain from judging them; to deliver the gospel message without casting pearls before swine, is indeed a narrow way. The way is unutterably hard, and at every moment we are in danger of straying from it. If we regard this way as one we follow in obedience to an external command, if we are afraid of ourselves all the time, it is indeed an impossible way. But if we behold Jesus Christ going on before step by step, we shall not go astray.” 
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer

See the only way to follow the narrow path is to follow Jesus and his teaching. To follow his example in everything.
