INTRODUCTION

                In these next scriptures, we at VAL-TE’ believe refers to a life focused on what is right, good, and true, as opposed to a life that is easy, self-centered, or focused on material things. And He went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?” And He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from, then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’ There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out. They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God. And indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.” Luke 13: 22-30 NKJV

Biblical Word

                THE NARROW GATE – “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’” Matthew 7: 13-14; 21-23 NIV

Reference

                Acts 2: 25-28 – For David said about him, ‘I saw the Lord before me at all times; he is near me, and I will not be troubled. And so I am filled with gladness, and my words are full of joy. And I, mortal though I am, will rest assured in hope, because you will not abandon me in the world of the dead; you will not allow your faithful servant to rot in the grave. You have shown me the paths that lead to life, and your presence will fill me with joy.’ GNT

Significance

                Straight and Narrow Path (Often used to talk about the best way forward, or the best path that could be taken) – We at VAL-TE’ also believe is about striving to be your truest, best self in all aspects of life, guided by a sense of higher purpose and unwavering moral principles. It’s about being true to your beliefs, your values, and your best self, living a life of purpose and making choices that reflect honesty, accountability, and unwavering moral courage. This ultimately leads to a more fulfilling life, genuine connections with others, and deeper healing – physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
