Luke 13:24 - “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able."
Jesus' parable regarding the narrow door is just as relevant to us today. In order to obtain eternal life, one has to strip themselves of the things of this world. There is no other way to get through as sons and daughters of God. While we will look naked and foolish to some, others will not be able to pass through to salvation until they let go of the baggage of this life. Beware of the deceitfulness of riches, for it comes in all forms, including the pride of self-sufficiency.
Has someone called you narrow-minded as a Christian? This may be the greatest compliment one can receive. If we have narrowed our minds and hearts and focused on the things of God, then we ensure ourselves entrance through that narrow door to joy everlasting.
