Parable of the narrow door
Jesus said to enter by the narrow gate
Gates
The gate that is wide and easier to enter leads to destruction
The gate that is narrow and harder to enter leads to salvation
The message
There is only one door (narrow)
It's open and one day it will close
We need to enter it
What is the door
Jesus christ is the door
We can get through it by believing that Jesus dies for us to forgive our sins
The door is the way that leads to eternal life
The door is open
While it is open anyone can get in
You can still repent, it isn't too late yet
No one has ever made the first move towards God
We come only because God draws us
However when it's closed you'll no longer be able to enter
No exclusions
He doesnt show favouritism, anyone can enter
The call of God not restricted by anything
Race
Parents
Gender
Class
There's no reason why you shouldn't be part of the people who gets drawn to God
Entering
It isn't complicated
no complicated course
no way around it
parable comparisons
He didnt compare himself to a wall
He didnt compare himself to a lng dark passageway
He compared himself to a door
You just have to open it and enter
Strive to enter
The Greek word agōnizomai gives us the word agonise
We have to agonise, strive and give it our all to enter
In salvation we have a part, we have to put in the work and try our best
You cant save yourself
You can
You can lay aside ungodly things through the grace of God
Try your best to get better until the day comes
