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 reason the verse says that the gate is narrow is because there is only one way to eternal life. The only way to have eternal life is through a relationship with Jesus Christ. While there are many other paths people may choose, the Bible teaches that these will lead to eternal separation from God. Choose the narrow gate. Choose Jesus. ~ Jeff M Newman

Be an Instrument of Righteousness
Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. (Romans 6:12-14)
