a call to LORDSHIP: The Road to Heaven is Difficult and Narrow. Only a Few People Find This Road

by John Miller

Overview

The road to heaven is a narrow road, one Jesus said only a few people would follow. The road to hell is wide and heavily traveled, even by many believers. Join me on a study not of religion but rather on the only teachings that matter - the Word of God and teachings of Jesus the Christ.
Our journey begins with the profound transformation of our society from a once Christian nation to a secular society, where the influence of God in the public square has faded and melted away, replaced by the pervasive sway of modern education, Hollywood, and social media.
We are living out the prophecy of Isaiah 5:20, where what is wrong is considered as right, and what is right is considered to be wrong. Openly displayed sin is now the celebrated norm, while those who speak the truth of God's Word have been labeled the narrow-minded bigots.
In response, our modern day pulpits have faced this obstacle and folded, refusing to stand for God's unchanging and uncompromising truths. Today we hear a watered-down version of the Gospel, speaking to the love and mercy of God, carefully avoiding sin, evil, or the judgement and righteousness of God.
The heart of this book is a deep dive into the uncomfortable truths of the Gospels, where we are confronted with the revelation that a mere belief in Jesus will not get you to heaven. Our expedition includes the profound teachings of Jesus on the Ten Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount, the meaning of Lordship, real repentance, required forgiveness, and extensive looks at the Lord's many parables. There is a particular focus on the farmer and his seed, exploring the reality that most of today's believers may be living life on the wide well-traveled highway to hell.
My earnest endeavor with this work is to unveil the only true path to eternity in heaven with God, the path the Word of God shows us winds its way through the lordship of Jesus Christ. This lordship requires more than belief and church attendance, as Jesus demands to be our top priority, with unwavering devotion and a willingness to bear the costs of following Him at every turn. This unwavering devotion is the one path to heaven, a path Jesus warned only a few will find and be willing to travel, as those who are half-hearted, insincere, misled, unforgiving, or have hardened hearts will spend eternity in hell. This message is woven throughout the Gospels, one you have likely never heard preached from a modern day pulpit.
We also spend time in this writing reaffirming the Bible is the divine message from God to humanity, without any error, revealing precisely what He intended us to know, and there is irrefutable evidence of the Bible's truthfulness right before our eyes. The paramount pursuit in this life is where you will spend the next one, and we conclude that the words and teachings of Jesus are the one and only group of truths that really matter, and that it is God's plan for each of us to faithfully study His Word. I emphasize that the promises of God are reserved exclusively for those who faithfully follow Jesus under His divine authority and Lordship. Lastly, we realize that salvation in Jesus is a FREE gift; attaining it will cost you EVERYTHING.

About the Author

John Miller, the author, spent 42 years of his career in 2 industrial factories. During this time, he studied the Word of God diligently, immersing himself in the teachings of notable figures such as Billy Graham and Chuck Smith through their articles and sermons, as well as the many years of sermons from non-denominational church services where John attended. Following his retirement, John authored a book titled "Six Thousand Years: The Story of God and His People." This work was printed and distributed among his long-time colleagues, many of whom had been his co-workers for over 35 years. John had promised to write a book detailing everything he had learned about the Bible, and "Six Thousand Years" was this work. This second writing, "A Call to Lordship," has a specific focus on the cost of following Jesus, not as your Savior, but as your Lord, as John believes many of today’s church attending people are not walking on the road leading to heaven. Jesus said the road to eternal life with God is a narrow and difficult road that only a few people find, and John’s earnest endeavor is to show you the way, straight from the Bible.
