Everyone is traveling down a road in this life. The road being traveled will end in eternity one day. God’s word tells that the destination of each traveler depends upon decisions made while on the road. “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matt.

7:13—14). Joshua of old talked about making this decision just prior to the end of his life. He made this statement, “Choose you this day whom you will serve…but as for me and my house we will server the Lord” (Joshua 24:15).

If a person is planning on spending eternity with God they must make the proper decisions now and make sure they are on the road that leads to heaven. It sounds so simple, but many follow the wrong road because they fail to check the “road signs” along the way. A story is told of how a man and wife were traveling from the east to visit relatives who lived in New Mexico. Driving most of the night the man asked his wife to drive in the dark hours of morning while he slept a while. Waking a few hours later he was surprised to find the sun beaming brightly in his eyes. Somehow she had missed the road signs and had stopped the westward trek and was headed back east.

but that is not what this “sign” means. This “sign” means to confess that Jesus is the Son of God (Matt. 10:32—33; Acts 8:37). Traveling on, the next “sign” is baptism. Baptism is for the remission of sin (Acts 2:38). Paul wrote of baptism in the letter to Rome. “Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore, we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life” (Rom. 6:3-4).

The last “sign” tells one to live faithfully all the days of their lives. “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life” (Rev. 2:10b).

The road traveled is so important, make sure to follow the “map” God has given to all men.
