Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” He replied, “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail. When the master of the house has locked the door, it will be too late. You will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’ Then you will say, ‘But we ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’ And he will reply, ‘I tell you, I don’t know you or where you come from. Get away from me, all you who do evil.’
Jesus said to work hard to enter the narrow door. He didn't say, that it was okay as long as you sincerely believe something else. He didn't say, you'll get a pass if you have a good excuse. He didn't say, that the most important thing was your happiness. He didn't say, everyone who goes to church on Sunday, we gt a pass. He didn't say, that if you follow the 10 commandments then you'll make it. He told us to work hard to enter the narrow door. If you see a crowd moving towards what they say is the Kingdom of God, be wary. The narrow door, is not the choice of the crowd, but the narrow door is the only way. Jesus is the way.
