The Narrow Door (Gate)

We all want to be saved and to be with JESUS in HIS Eternal Kingdom. But JESUS warns us that we should all make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many will try to enter and will not be able to (Luke 13:24). We are again reminded in the GOSPEL that not everyone who says 'LORD, LORD,' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only he who does the will of the Father who is in heaven (Matthew 7:21). Even the rich young man who may have obeyed all religious laws still found it hard to enter and inherit GOD'S Kingdom (Luke 18:18-23). As the Apostle Paul said: "Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is GOD who works in you to will and to act according to HIS good purpose." (Philippians 2:12-13).
