Jesus is the Narrow Gate
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 that there is only one way to have eternal life. The only way to have eternal life is to have a relationship with Jesus. There are many other options out there besides following Jesus, but the Bible teaches that these will lead to eternal separation from God. Choose the narrow gate. Choose Jesus. ~ Jeff M Newman
