The Bible says that the road to eternal life is
narrow and only a few will find it so I’ve
dedicated my time to finding out why.
Why only a few?
I first identified a few groups but the problem
continued to grow which meant that the few just
get larger and larger. And as this happens I read
God’s Word (the Bible) and the answer is more
clear.
We humans are created by God but we start our
lives out the wrong way. We are taught from
birth that we have to become something.
1
The Bible says that God wrote down all the days
of our lives before we were born and that He
forms us in our mother’s womb so we have to
become something? Becoming something states
that there was a problem with God’s initial
formation of us not to mention a mistake in the
writing of all of the days of our lives before we
were born!
A good example of this was the children of
Israel. It’s in the Bible. They were slaves to
Egypt (and we are slaves to sin). God freed
them (we’ve been freed too) and then God tried
to lead them to Canaan which He was giving to
them like He promised to do (we’ve been
promised eternal life in Heaven) but they were
unhappy with what they could see and they
2
always wanted something better (we too are
unhappy with what we can see so we try to
become something better). So we don’t hope
for what He’s promised instead we imagine and
hope for something better. So the road is
narrow and few find it.
The miracle for the children of Israel is: 1. That
they were freed from slavery in Egypt and 2.
they crossed the Red Sea on dry land. The
miracle for us is: 1. We have been freed from
slavery to sin and 2. Given eternal life in
Heaven which is much better than an Earthly
life in Canaan!
The big question is whether all your efforts will
be on what people like or what God wants.

What people like will reward you on Earth but
what God wants will reward you in Heaven.
Too many people want their rewards on Earth
but the only rewards that will matter will come
in Heaven.
The children of Israel were interested in what
they could see even though everything they got
came from God who they couldn’t see. So if
you’re more interested in what you can see then
life will be good for you on this Earth.
What you can see will make you happy on Earth
and what you can’t see will make you happy in
Heaven. The choice is yours.
