False and True Discipleship

13 “Go in through the narrow gate; for the gate that leads to destruction is wide and the road broad, and many travel it; 14 but it is a narrow gate and a hard road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

15 “Beware of the false prophets! They come to you wearing sheep’s clothing, but underneath they are hungry wolves! 16 You will recognize them by their fruit. Can people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every healthy tree produces good fruit, but a poor tree produces bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, or a poor tree good fruit. 19 Any tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown in the fire! 20 So you will recognize them by their fruit.

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, only those who do what my Father in heaven wants. 22 On that Day, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord! Didn’t we prophesy in your name? Didn’t we expel demons in your name? Didn’t we perform many miracles in your name?’ 23 Then I will tell them to their faces, ‘I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!’

24 “So, everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on bedrock. 25 The rain fell, the rivers flooded, the winds blew and beat against that house, but it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a stupid man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain fell, the rivers flooded, the wind blew and beat against that house, and it collapsed — and its collapse was horrendous!”

28 When Yeshua had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at the way he taught, 29 for he was not instructing them like their Torah-teachers but as one who had authority himself. — Matthew 7:13-29 | Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) Complete Jewish Bible Copyright © 1998 by David H.

“Enter by the narrow gate.” 

The connotation of “narrow” here is constricted. It’s a very, very, tight squeeze. We can’t carry anything through it; we come through with nothing.

How Can Only a Few Be Saved?

I honor the Bible as true. It is the only source I can completely trust when it comes to information about God, life after death, and how human beings can have life after death with God. That said, there are two passages in the Bible that I don’t like. I wish they were wrong. I hope they are wrong. But I feel no authority to change or to ignore what they say. The first is this: 13 “Enter by the…

How Narrow is the Biblical Gospel? - Pastor Patrick Hines Podcast (Galatians 5:1-6)

1 It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. 2 Look! I, Paul, tell you that if you have yourselves circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you. 3 And I testify again to every man who has himself circumcised, that he is obligated to keep the whole Law. 4 You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to…

The Entrance to the Kingdom of God Is Both Narrower and Wider Than We Might Expect

On the one hand, Jesus seemed to be saying that virtually no one was able to enter the kingdom of God....

Revelation of Jesus Christ, Jerusalem of the Bible Some local Hebrews in the First Century asked Jesus whether the people entering the kingdom of God would be few. They were not likely thinking of all the people in the world. They were likely focusing on themselves, the Hebrews who identified as God’s people when they asked that question. I get the impression that the questioner might have…

Wisdom of the Saints

THE NARROW GATE OF HUMILITY

“Woe to our times: we now depart from the narrow and sorrowful path leading to eternal life and we seek a happy and peaceful path. Although they deceive you with peace and comfort, they are so fleeting that you do not notice how you are deprived of them, and in their place come sorrow, longing, despondency, and no comfort whatsoever.

But the merciful Lord leads many people from this path, against their will, and places them on the sorrowful one. Through unwanted sorrows and illnesses, we draw closer to the Lord, for they humble us by constraint, and humility, when we acquire it, can save us even without works.”

St. Macarius & St. Leonid of Optina

Entra por la puerta estrecha; porque ancha es la puerta y espacioso el camino que lleva a la perdición, y muchos son los que entran por ella. Qué estrecha es la puerta y angosto el camino que lleva a la vida. Y son pocos los que lo encuentran. (Mt 7, 13-14).

Muchos son invitados, pero pocos son elegidos. (Mt 22, 14).

23.35 Is your Christian mother saved?

Author’s note: I am not being facetious. This week’s article comes after much reflecting about salvation since my parents died. My father died in 1996 and my mother died in 2017. I look back with wonder how I could not understand in more clear terms how to bring up the subject of salvation better than I did although I did. I may write more about those experiences later. This week I am motivated…
