Imagine the kingdom of God as a wonderful place with a wonderfully built estate with only one narrow gate. Inside this estate is every good thing that is possible and absolutely free of evil and corruption. However, it is stated that for anyone to enter the estate, he or she must suffer inconveniences because of the narrowness of this gate. So that anyone who desires to enter to enjoy the excellent comfort of this estate must endure the pains of passing through this narrow gate. Also, imagine the kingdom of Satan as another estate with very wide gate but inside this estate are inexplicable troubles, pains, and sorrow there are no apparent inconveniences in entering this estate with its wide gate. Think about this!
It is in this light that I will say to you my dear friend that do not be deceived by following preachers of Liberalism, Humanism, and Modernism who are leading people through the wide gate into eternal damnation. You can recognize such preachers through their loose character and unscriptural emphasis on earthly prosperity at the expense of godliness and righteousness. I will suggest you read (1 Timothy 6:5 and Philippian 3:18-19). And also remember that there is a way that seems right to a man but its end is the way of death. (Proverbs 14:12)
