He has disciples for a Reason.
Disciples are devoted to knowing The Truthful WAY.
They used CHRIST’S WAY instead of their own prideful way.
man’s doctrine of pride excuses is the broad way to destruction.
A disciple is a “disciplined” Follower. The goal is to have the Same View as JESUS, The Son Of Man EXAMPLE.
the false church knows of CHRIST, but they are not disciplined.
you want things to go The Way CHRIST Authored them to go if you are His child and Love Him …That’s Faith.
[John 14:28 ESV] You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
If something can be anti-(pride/unbelief) …It’s FAITH.
Is there anything less prideful than not having your own plans?
The Narrow Way is not your personal way at all. You should be doing His Way, not your modified version of It. You don’t keep choosing LIFE after you already have …your way is now His Way …to follow your heart is pride.
an attack on free will after you chose LIFE is an attack on pride because you are saying you can continue to be prideful.
[Jeremiah 17:9-10 KJV] The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
[10] I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
Matthew 6:21 KJV — For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
[Psalm 81:11-13 KJV] But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
[12] So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
[13] Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
worried about tomorrow is your own prideful path:
Matthew 6:30 KJV — Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Matthew 6:34 KJV — Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
darkness to Light is the same as pride to CHRIST’S Authored WAY.
Has JESUS Finished your FAITH Yet? if you are on your own prideful way …He hasn’t yet.
[Hebrews 12:2 KJV] Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; …
humans are gods when they mold GOD’S Definitions to be compatible with human pride:
[Psalm 82:5-7 KJV] They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
[6] I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
[7] But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
