Narrow is the path. Read Matt 13:1-23. It seems from the story only about 25% will live. We all should live and obey to enter in. Don't be one day waking up in Hell, you won't believe it exists Then. Repent, believe and fall deeper in Love with the Lord.

Matthew 7:13-14: "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. After reading this your mind have to be made up to follow Jesus. Satan is very tricky, deceiving, cunning.... and the list goes on. But the Lord is able to cause us to truimph in ever situation to be victorious - not that we as christian won't go thru persecution for following Jesus. The "small' percentage is not actually small because we don't know the vast amount of people who has accepted the Lord. Just pray that the Lord will sent labourers in the vineyard and we ourselves will make a difference in our home, neighbors, and jobs. We must set an example and let others see Christ in us.

You didn't really think that there would be a lot that will make it did you?
The elect will go.
Possible 3%.
About 180 million.
Not that many considering over 6 billion now and not counting the others who have been here throughout the centuries.

That is really why we are told not to judge others - Do not judge that someone IS going to heaven.
As probation officer, I learned that the court system presumes innocence (OF HAVING DONE ANYTHING) until proven guilty (OF HAVING DONE SOMETHING). As a Christian, we should not presume that someone HAS ACCEPTED CHRIST without proof that they have. The PROOF is who gets raptured.
So pray for your family, pray for your friends, pray for all the 20+ year members of your church. Many don't have Christ at the center of their hearts.
God is a jealous God. He wants you to keep Him "in perspective" though..... He'll take your #1 position, or none at all.

I am clergy and the total is very small in comparison to the greater number.
I believe1/10th of a percent is more than will be saved.

Going to heaven is a personal choice. Just stay connected to the ONE who died for you.

As a Christian Preacher this has worried me somewhat.
There are so many that are strictly playing at being a Christian that it is appalling.
There's more to being a Christina than going to Church, singing songs and praising God.

According to religionists, one tenth of the earth will survive. No, that is not a very big figure.

Nobody makes it on their own merit
Just the blood of Jesus can cover sin
