Entering in Through the "Narrow Gate" | Episode 21

Stephanie Green Season 4 Episode 21

Then one said to Him, “Master, are there few who are saved?”
And He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able” (Luke 13:23-24).
What does it mean to “strive” to enter in through the narrow gate?
According to our Messiah’s words, striving and seeking are two very different things. Yahusha was not talking about those who aren’t seeking at all. He’s talking about the difference between those who are “striving” and those who are “seeking.”
This is worthy of some serious attention.
There is a word that I am constantly stirring over...it’s one that has created an inner turmoil for me that I know I need to continue to wrestle with and sit with. It’s a word that I cannot seem to shake:
“FEW.”
Many are called, FEW are chosen.
The path is narrow and FEW find it.
The harvest is plenty but the laborers are FEW.
Only a remnant is making it through the narrow gate that leads to life.
I want to share with you where my studies have led me in understanding what it means to truly STRIVE. I want to share with you why several Hebrew word studies have helped me better understand the call of Yahuah’s remnant—His covenant people. There have been many thoughts and several verses in Scripture that I’ve wrestled with over the last several months.
This wrestling for truth has afflicted me, disciplined me, humbled me and now I’m ready to strive with you over some hard, yet necessary truths.
