"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them...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: Because strait is the gate: and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree brigeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."
Matthew 7:12-18
Why do you believe you are amongst the "few" when you do not live in perfect accord with the Word?
"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."
Matthew 5:48
(all quotes are from the Sermon on the Mount)
