Narrow Is The Way To Eternal Life - An Explanation Of What Jesus Really Meant by jiggaz(m): 8:38am On Aug 23, 2015
Many Believers today are always chanting this sentence... "Narrow is the way to eternal life ".... actually it is what Jesus said in the Bible.... But most Believers read and understand it out of CONTEXT.... Lemme explain....

When Jesus made this statement, he was addressing the Jews and His disciples in Israel at that time, they were practicing Judaism. And to say u believe in Jesus and His teaching during that time is like BLASPHEMY, cos your parents and the community will ostracize and disown you. You will be like an outcast. So that was why Jesus made that statement to them, that if you must follow Him, you have to abandon your family and everything cos the way to Eternal Life then is difficult.

Fast-forward it to present day, After the death of CHRIST and His RESURRECTION, it is now easy to be saved than to be lost because what CHRIST did on the cross of Calvary overpaid for our Sins ( Past, Present & Future ). All you need to do is to believe in Christ Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, trusting His Death, Burial & Resurrection as your only means of Salvation.

So Believers, that statement THE WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE IS NARROW doesn't apply to Believers today, Jesus was talking to the Jews that want to follow him during His time.

So brethren, it very easy to be saved today than to be lost. CHRISTIANITY is not a RELIGION, it is about JESUS CHRIST and His finished Work on the Cross. We are a Blessed generation all because of what happened at the Cross!! Thank you Lord Jesus!!

There's no need for hmmmm my broda... this is just the Truth... By the revelation of the Holy Spirit, so many hidden truths have been uncovered in the Bible.... We are in the age of TRUTH,which is also the age of GRACE which means UNMERITED FAVOUR...

It must be very hard for you to understand cos our Pastors have brainwashed so many Christians mixing the message of GRACE with the Law... But dat is not the TRUE GOSPEL of CHRIST....

OP shud stop twisting d scriptures,Jesus was talking to d generally of xtians,d road to eternal life is still narrow coz it doesnt accommodate unnecessary weights, u need to shed every weight to make it to eternal life.its not very easy. the concept of teaching grace without responsibility is erroneous.

Chew this!

Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.


hmm Jiggaz BEWARE OF YOUR FALSE TEACHING!
EVEN PEOPLE THAT DID MIRACLES IN JESUS' NAME ARE CAST TO EVERLASTING DARKNESS BECAUSE OF INIQUITY.

Yes, eternal life is God's kind of life ( the quality of His life) that we believers in Christ will live in Heaven.

Eternity is the existence outside time. Most people think eternity is existing for millions and millions of years, if it is so, then it will be boring and exhausting. But eternity is the existence outside time. In eternity, there is no past or future, what you always have is "the present".

This is just my opinion though.
