“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:
