Hello,
This question concerns a number of statements made in the New Testament:
"14 For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it." Mt. 7:14 (NASB)
"24 The disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus *answered again and *said to them, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!" Mk. 10:24 (NASB)
"18 And if it is with difficulty that the righteous is saved, what will become of the godless man and the sinner?" 1 Pet. 4:18 (NASB)
So, why is it so difficult to obey God's commands?
