I have some questions about this verse in Matthew 7.
Why is the way to Christ narrow? Why are there few that find it? Why is the broader and easier way so well travelled?
On a practical level, how can a young person walk on this narrow road? Does it involved forsaking all old worldly pursuits and following Christ completely?
One of the issues I often wrestle with is complete commitment to Christ and I am starting to question whether or not such a road can be walked in today's society. Any reassurance would be welcomed.
Matthew 7:13-14
13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
