The illustrations in this book are beautiful, sometimes startlingly, and exquisite in detail. They add to and perfectly complement the patient and insightful interpretations of the various Scripture passages that convey the essential messages in 'Enter through the Narrow Gate.' The central theme in the book is to 'Enter through the narrow gate.' The wide gate is the 'easy' way, resting on one's laurels, seeking prosperity, and not willing to make any sacrifices. 'But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.' (Matthew 7:13-14) Many Christian's assurance of salvation and spending eternity with God in heaven is a delusion. The heart of the book reveals the 'Five R' gates of God's perfect plan of Salvation that each person must enter to receive salvation and establish a loving and obedient relationship with God, by becoming a believer and follower of Christ Jesus.

CHAPTER 1

God’s Perfect Creation

Here, in Genesis, we begin the most exciting and fulfilling journey imaginable as the Holy Bible, brings to light some of God’s personality character traits, while clearly explaining His structured plan of creation and describing the responsibility and authority He gave to the human race when He created us.

God who is Spirit, said, “LetUs make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fishes of the sea, over the birds in the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. (Genesis 1:26-27)

Adam was created in God’s likeness, not a physical likeness because God has no physical body. But spiritually created in God’s image holy, righteous, moral, and perfect in God’s likeness. God created us fully equipped with the physical and spiritual senses and need to communicate and walk with Him.

Go created mankind aspirit being with abody of flesh that was holy, righteous, and pure, without sin. We were also created with aneternal soul to live forever and hada free will to choose what we wanted.

The purpose of man’sspirit is to communicate with God’s Spirit, and in turn communicate what God’s Holy Spirit says to our soul.

Ourbody of flesh contains the spirit and soul of man as long as the body remains alive. Our mind is part of our body and functions only in the physical realm. Our body of flesh is sensitive to the things of the flesh and natural physical surroundings. For example, sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste.

The body sends information regarding the senses, emotions, desires, and needs, to the mind. The mind gathers information and articulates to the soul what the body wants. (Initially, at creation, every thought function that went through Adam and Eve’s mind was holy, righteous, and pure. It was all good, because no evil existed in humanity at that “time”).

Oursoul, also known as theheart of man, is also confined in the body. The soul of man is the real me and you; our personalities, likes, dislikes, and attitudes. The Soul of Man, is the decision-making part of us humans. The soul decides either to go with what man’s spirit which is from God, communicates to the soul, or the soul could decide to go with what the body communicates, through the mind, to it. This process of decision making we refer to as ourfree will.

One of the most important traits God created in humanity is the ability tofreely choose to accept and be obedient to God’s will for us, or to reject God’s will and do what we want to do.

God created us with anindependent will so we could chose to love and obey Him or reject Him. So, God created mankind with afree will independent of God’s Will. It’s our own free independent will. Humans are free to choose, to say, and do what we desir
