3 "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." Matthew 7: 13-14
Read that and read it again. Think about what that means to you.
"Enter by the narrow gate" - to me this is simply saying the narrow gate is the right one to enter through without having read the rest of the above scripture.
"For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many." - This is something that is so hard for us to comprehend. Not everyone will go to heaven, actually by what this says, many people or most people will go to Hell because they will chose the wide gate and the easy way. By them choosing that way and following that path, they will find destruction in the end. Pain and suffering for eternity. What is eternity, I can't explain because I don't think the human mind is made to understand what that really is but I know its a long long long time. We can and should try to bring everyone to know God but in the end we can't get everyone and the ones we do get will most likely fall back and chose the wide gate again... We are born to having already chosen the wide gate, it is only by the grace of God that we come to him.
"For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." - From what I said before that narrow gate is the right choice this says that not only is it right by leading to life but it is also narrow and hard to follow. The Christian life is so far from easy but it is very possible. This also says that those who find it are few meaning very few people will enter the Kingdom of God. As I said above we should try to help bring people to God but in the end very few people will stay on that narrow path.
If the way is narrow and you have truly become saved and you take a step off the path by committing a sin God will always pull you back to the path. You can run as far as you want from that straight and narrow path but he will always pull you back. I look back at my life and I have always said I got saved at 11 years old but sometimes I would questions it. I heard Paul Washer preach on this passage and some of the following verses and at the end I got all this from it and realized that since 11 years old God has always pulled me right back to him. Now I walk the path as straight as I can but as a human of course I stray off. the important thing is that I realize I am off the path and God guides me back to it.
This is just something i really felt like sharing with everyone so if you would like to comment or message me or anything, please do! Thanks for reading!
