"Strive To Enter the Narrow Gate" I Samuel 30-31; Luke 13:23-35

Strive to enter in at the straight gate. The word "strive" in the Greek is "agonizomai" which is a struggle or a fight. Strong. Effort. Agonizing. No Broad Gate. We are watchmen of the house of God. Therefore, give warning: "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’

“But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
“Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’
“But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’ ...

Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.” Luke 13:24-27, 30.
