As it relates to the gospel of salvation and our spiritual walk with Jesus Christ, “the ultimate measuring stick” is the book of scriptures; known as the bible. If we don’t use the word of God as the instrument that we measure up to in our daily walk, or as a guide, we are bound to lose our way and that’s if we are not already heading in the wrong direction.
There is a war going on and it’s the battle for our souls. For those who are on the broad road to destruction and death, the enemy’s goal is to keep you comfortable on that path. On the other hand, for those who are on the narrow road which leads to eternal life with Christ, the enemy’s plan is to distract you with the hope that you will lose your way.
