Day 326 - Ensure You're Among the Believers Who Make it Through the Narrow Door to Salvation

Ensure you and everyone you know to reach and enter the narrow door to salvation.

People in the streets asked this question of Jesus.

And someone said to him, Lord, will only a small number have salvation? And he said to them,

Do your best to go in by the narrow door, for I say to you, A number will make the attempt to go in, but will not be able to do so.

When the master of the house has got up, and the door has been shut, and you, still outside, give blows on the door, saying, Lord, let us in; he will make answer and say, I have no knowledge of where you come from.

Then you will say, We have taken food and drink with you, and you were teaching in our streets.

But he will say, Truly, I have no knowledge of you or where you come from; go away from me, you workers of evil.

There will be weeping and cries of sorrow when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are shut outside. (Luke 13.23-28 Bible in Basic English (BBE))

A time will come when there will be no believers on earth. Many will then regret not making it through the narrow door to salvation. Their struggle in a world of Satan will be tremendous. Yet even then, God will present a final opportunity to come to faith and genuine belief in him. Many will suffer terribly for their new faith, but God will accept and love them. Which group will you and those you know and love be with? The decision is the most important of their lives and eternity. It will impact everything they and you do and say from that day forward.

Prayer:

Lord, I want to be among those who cross the narrow door's threshold to you and redemption with the first. Help me bring all I know and love with me. Help me convince them of your bountiful love. It would break my heart to leave even one person of your children behind. Strengthen me to utilize the best means for the person I am working with. Enable me to speak your sweet whispers into their hearts. Release their resistance and bring them into your loving arms. I want to ensure they know you and believe with their whole being. I know they must choose, but help me make the invitation so precious they cannot resist the desire to love and serve you. Open their minds and hearts to your word and the growth of their faith. Please help me help them every day for the rest of my life. I pray in Jesus Christ's name. Amen
