“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road
that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate
and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” (Matt.7:13-14,
Sermon of the Mount)
"On that day many will say to me: Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your
name... (Matt.7:21-23)
"Many are invited, but few are chosen" (Matt.22:14)
"Someone asked him: Lord, will only a few be saved?. He said to them: Strive
to enter through the narrow door, for many will try to enter and will not be
able... (Lk.13:23-29)
How many will go to Hell? How many will not enter through the
narrow gate but will seek a broad gate to enter through?
In each passage I mentioned Jesus talks about how many will go to
"Hell", the word "many" is used... not just once but 4 times!
How many will go to Heaven?
Here is used the word "few", as we just mentioned, "For the gate is
narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who
find it" (Matt.7:13-14)...
... But those few are "a great multitude that no one could count, from
every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages", says (Rev.7:
9).
How do you become part of the “Chosen Few” and not of the
“Many” that are doomed to Hell forever apart from God. Simply by
choosing Jesus Christ and placing your sincere trust in Him.
Believing in Him and the sacrifice He made on the cross, being a
finished work to cleanse you from all your sins. This is His promise
to you…. “Eternal Life” (1 John 2:25) Only through His work on the
cross is this possible. “Not by works of righteousness which we have
done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of
regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3:5). Believing
anything else will buy you a one way nonstop ticket to eternal life
apart from God and His Son. A complete and just reward for
choosing to believe satans’ lie that you don’t need to be saved from
your sins. Jesus is the narrow gate that you need to pass through. He
will lead you to the eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus said,
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. (John 14:6) No one comes to the
Father except through Me.” Jesus being the narrow gate, the only
door, and rejection of the Son is rejection of the Father. “Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”
(John 6:47)
So, I pray that you are not one of those "many" who go to Hell, but
one of those "few", one of that "great multitudes", who go to Heaven.
Praise the Lord! Start now with a heartfelt prayer to the Lord:
