Few there be that find it, because few there be that seek it, Hebrews 11:6.
"Enter in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction and many there be that go that way Because strait is the gate and narrow is the way, that leads to life and few there be that find it" Matthew 7:13, 14.
The wide gate and the broad way is the way of religion,"It is the way that seems right unto a man, but leads to death" Proverbs 14:12.
The strait and narrow way that leads to life is Jesus Christ and his Gospel, Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life: no man can come to the Father but by me" John 14:6.
The Calvinist thinks that the way is through Calvinism and predestination. The Catholic thinks that the way is through Catholicism and the Catholic church. Organized religion thinks that the way is through religion and obedience to the law.
They are all going through the wide gate and the broad way that leads to destruction. The way is broad because there are many going that way. The Bible teaches that only a remnant are going to be saved, Romans 9:27. Few there be that find the narrow strait gate that leads to life. Why is that so? Few there be that find it because few there be that seek it.
We are called to seek Christ and his Gospel, Philippians 2:21. Do you know and understand how you are saved? Very few do. Many start out to seek the Lord, but what they found was religion. Religion is very interesting because religion is about you. The Gospel is not about us, the Gospel is about Jesus Christ and how he has reconciled us and a world of lost sinners unto God, 2 Corinthians 5:18, 19.
Religion is a diversion away from Christ and his Gospel and will lead you into yourself who is a sinner. It is the broad way that leads to death.
THE STRAIT AND NARROW GATE THAT LEADS TO LIFE, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST AND HIS GOSPEL.
All that Jesus is and all that Jesus did was for our justification and our salvation. Jesus was not only God with us, Jesus was also God for us. This is not about religion. This is about Jesus Christ and what he did to save us. By the doing and the dying of Jesus salvation has been provided for everyone, Hebrews 2:9.
In our name and on our behalf, Jesus has atoned for our sins and the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2.
In our name and on our behalf, Jesus fulfilled God's Holy Law, Matthew 5:18 and then for our sake he abolished it, Ephesians 2:15. It was contrary to us, no one could keep it or do it, Colossians 2:14.
In our name and on our behalf, Jesus has entered into heaven and now sits at the right hand of God as our intercessor and mediator, Romans 8:34.
Because of the doing and the dying of Jesus, we can now stand before God's Holy Court as complete "In Christ" Colossians 2:10.
salvation in Jesus Christ is a free gift from God. It cannot be earned, deserved or imposed. It can only be received by faith, "But as many as received him (and his Gospel) to them gave he the power to become the children of God, even to them that believe upon his name" John 1:12.
