The Wide PathThis path is the way of the world with
few rules, restrictions, or requirements.
Life is about more possessions, more prominence, more power, more pleasure.
Philippians 3:18-19 “For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things.”

The Wide PathJames 4:4 “Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”
2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 “Those who do not know God and those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ . . . will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His power.”

The Wide PathRevelation 20:12 “And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.”
Revelation 20:15 “And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”

The Wide PathLuke 17:27 says, “They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.”
1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 “The day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. While they are saying, ‘Peace and safety!’ then destruction will come upon them suddenly like birth pangs upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

Hebrews 12:1 “Let us lay aside every weight, every encumbrance (everything that weighs us down), and lay aside all the sin that so easily besets/entangles us…”
