CCC 1696

The way of Christ "leads to life"; a contrary way "leads to destruction."²⁰ Mt 7:13; cf. Deut 30: 15-20. The Gospel parable of the two ways remains ever present in the catechesis of the Church; it shows the importance of moral decisions for our salvation: "There are two ways, the one of life, the other of death; but between the two, there is a great difference."²¹ Didache 1, 1: SCh 248, 140SCh — Sources Chrétiennes (patristic critical-edition series).
