Is It True That It is Hard to Get Saved?
Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Who - Jesus speaking to Jews
What - Eternal Life
Where - Israel
When - Age of Law
Under the 'Law' it was indeed hard to be saved.
The first sermon that was preached after Jesus was raised from the dead came in the book of Acts and it was given to those under 'Grace'.
Who - Peter
What - How to receive eternal life
Where - In Jerusalem
When - In the new Age of Grace
Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Mat 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven
Peter, will now open the gates of heaven, to who so ever will.
Act 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost
The gift of the Holy Ghost is eternal life.
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
If one would do as Peter was instructed by God, it is easy.
