Enter Through the Narrow Gate
Matthew 7:13-14
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)
The Bible teaches that there is only one way to Heaven, and that is through faith in Jesus Christ. In contrast, the world offers many paths that seem right but ultimately lead to destruction. Following Jesus is not without cost—it often involves self-denial and may lead to persecution from those who reject Him. Many are hesitant to choose this path because Jesus calls His followers to live in obedience, not according to their own desires. This is why Jesus described the way to life as the narrow gate—difficult and traveled by few. Yet, those who enter through this narrow gate receive abundant life now and the promise of eternal life in the presence of God. ~ Jeff M Newman
