"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 , which leads to life AND FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT" Matthew 7:13, 14.
The broad way is the way of religion. Do good works, be a good person and God will accept you into heaven. That is the devils lie, because there in none that does good, Romans 3:10. We are all sinners that have been born after Adam, Romans 5:12.
The broad way is wide because there are many that go that way. The strait gate is narrow because few there be that find it. Jesus is the strait gate that leads to eternal life, John 14:6.
Jesus didn't come into the world to show us the way. Jesus came into the world to be the way. Calvinism, Catholicism, religion is not the way. Jesus is the way, "And Few There Be That Find It". Not many are going to be saved.
Jesus said, "When the Son of Man returns, will he find faith on the earth?" Luke 18:8. What he is going to find is a lot of religion and very little faith. Look at the threads on this Forum, how many are about Christ and his Gospel? How about little to nothing?
Jesus said, "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, didn't we..." Matthew 7:22. Whoever Jesus was talking to thought that salvation was all about them. Their works, their obedience to the law, their piety, their doing, their religion. They thought that the strait gate was about their religion. Little did they know that they were on the broadway that leads to destruction.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is almost lost due to Catholicism, Calvinism, Pentecostalism, religion. No one wants to hear about how Jesus has reconciled a world of lost sinners to God, 2 Corinthians 5:18, 19. (The Gospel) They want to know how they can get the victory over some little itty, bitty, sin in there life. They want religion.
"Few there be that find it" Few there be that find the Gospel that justifies the ungodly, Romans 4:5 and reconciles the world unto God, 2 Corinthians 5:19.
