QUESTION: I was asking about the narrow path, to get to the narrow gate; I am asking more about Matthew 7:14; do you have verses that will answer my question?

Thank you in advance

ANSWER: Hi Allen,

The narrow path you're speaking of is not a path, per se, but a person...Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the father except through Him---John 14:6. So to answer you, I would tell you that to get on the "narrow path" you let Jesus get into you. Then you follow Him as you grow in your knowledge of Him by reading your Bible daily and praying regularly and by getting involved with a strong Bible-based church so that others can help you in your walk on the "path".

QUESTION: Dear Eric

I will try to put it more clearly; my question is;

What verses, of what chapters, of what books of the bible, explains/sheds light on, the does/don’ts, for a Christian?

(I only need the locations, then, I can look them up, thus saving you time.  If there is too many for you to list, please list the first 20 of them, which comes into your head, please.    Thank you in advance.)

Answer
Allen,

You can find on EVERY PAGE examples of do's and don'ts for the Christian. They're everywhere. But to start off, read Exodus chapter 20---The Ten Commandments. I challenge you to try this test: Pick any page at random, and see if you can find a statement regarding either a do, or a don't. I claim that you will. They're EVERYWHERE! You can't miss them.

The Bible is SO FULL of do's and don'ts that you'd think that was the major theme. It isn't. But it certainly is close. The do's and don'ts are related to the major theme, and are an indication, a measure of how well the Christian is handling, that major theme.
