 | Enter through the narrow gate. (Matthew 7:13 NIV)
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. (John 10:9)
Jesus Christ himself is the gate of salvation, and that gate is no wider at all. Those who try to be saved by a wider gate that includes more than Christ are not entering through the narrow gate. Christ took our place on the cross, paid for our sins and reconciled us to God, and rose again.
Our Lord Jesus Christ saves those who place all of their trust for salvation on him. But hundreds of millions of people who believe that Christ is the Savior are doing more than attending church and being baptized and doing good works. They are trusting in church and ordinances and their good works to save them. That trust is for Christ alone; he is the Savior of the world; there is no other way to enter heaven, and no broad way to enter heaven. For those who want to be saved, place all of your trust on Jesus Christ for salvation, and he will give you eternal life.

 | Matt. 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Christ is the only way to life. Broad is the way that leadeth to destruction. Today men do not follow Christ (the anointing). If anything; they are against any anointing or the anti Christ unless it fits the confines of the bias they have been taught. They trust in man, his system and his denominations or religion, traditions and are much closed minded to the anointing with in us. The Bible is written to God’s Church must be spiritually discerned and most Christians can only quote there dogmas and have no clue to what spiritual things are.
Most Christians only know the broad way thinking they are in the narrow way.
