• Luke 13:23-25
  • Matthew 22:14; 7:13-14
  • Why will only a few be saved?
    • It is not because God wants it that way. II Peter 3:9; Luke 15:7
    • It is not because of an insufficient sacrifice. Hebrews 10:4-5,10
      • Acts 10:34 – It is not because the sacrifice of Jesus is not sufficient for all
    • It is not because the gospel is weak. I Corinthians 2:11; Romans 1:16
    • These facts absolve God of any blame for any man being lost.
  • The Lord’s answer
    • He said unto them – not just the one who inquired.
    • Strive!
  • Are you saved?
    • Notice how personal Jesus made it.
    • If we are ever saved, it will be now!
