“Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.” - Luke 13:24
“Strive” teaches that all outside the strait gate are in great danger. They are in danger of being lost for ever. There is but a step between them and death. If death finds them in their present condition, they will perish without hope. The Lord Jesus saw that clearly. He knew the uncertainty of life and the shortness of time. He would fain have sinners make haste and delay not, lest they put off soul business too late. He speaks as one who saw the devil drawing near to them daily, and the days of their life gradually ebbing away. He would have them take heed they be not too late. Therefore He cries, “Strive.” ~ J.C. Ryle
