Narrow is the Gate

“Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:14

The difficult way is the path through our hearts that we must navigate in order to reach the narrow gate and eternal life.

While Jesus Christ said the way is difficult, the modern church thinks it is easy and teaches that salvation is achieved when a sinner makes a decision or says a simple prayer. 

Compare the ease of reciting a prayer to struggling down a difficult path. No wonder He said, “There are few who find it.”

“If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” Matthew 16:24-25
