Some wise words from Martin Luther:
In the beginning it's hard to find the way. Then life becomes difficult as we continue to walk along the way. It becomes extremely tough when we have traveled on the way for a long time and are about to reach our final destination - heaven. So if you hold onto Christ in faith, then you have started in the right place. If you remain in Him, then you will be walking on the right path. If you persevere until the end, then you will be saved. Christ wants to pry our hearts away from trusting anything else. There is no other way, highway, bridge, or path for us than Christ alone.
