How do we know the path to the Celestial City is safe?

Answered in 1 source

The path to the Celestial City is safe for those who are meant to walk in it, as indicated by the shepherds in Bunyan's narrative.

The shepherds inform Christian and Hopeful that the way to the Celestial City is safe for the righteous, emphasizing that it is designated for those whom God has chosen to walk therein. This reflects a Reformed understanding of divine sovereignty in that the preservation and protection of the elect ensure their safe passage. The contrast is drawn with the fate of transgressors who stumble, illustrating the seriousness of adhering to the prescribed way (Matthew 7:14). Thus, believers can be assured that those genuinely called by God will find safety in their journey.
