Now, after reading these verses, you might think that God is narrowed minded. Well, He is, but as narrow minded as He is, He is also giving us a great opportunity to be forgiven and to have eternal life by believing ONLY in Him. Many don’t choose His way, and create their own path to reach heaven, but according to God, which is what matters, they won’t get there. We need to get there on His terms, and that is “receiving the forgiveness of all of our sins through the blood that was shed on the cross when He died for you and me.
Jesus said: 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. Mat 7:13-14. Are you one of those few?
