Luke-The Investigative Gospel
The Narrow Door
Luke 13:22-30
This message is for those of you who have read and sung and listened to people talk about Jesus for years without meeting him personally.
But then Jesus came along and taught over and over that God the Father offered salvation by grace through faith in him as the promised Savior.
1. No One Gets To Heaven Accidentally
If heaven is a free gift, then what are you striving for?
2. The Road to Heaven Is Narrow
The narrow door as I understand it in this text is Jesus Christ, who is the only means of eternal salvation, the only way of entering the kingdom of God.
Many people think they are going to heaven but they have not admitted that they are sinners, they have not turned in repentance and trusted in Jesus alone for salvation.
Some will miss out because they have a false view of the nature of God.
3. Not Everyone Is Going to Heaven
There is coming a day when the wonderful invitation of salvation will be over.
4. Missing Heaven Will Be An Eternal Torment
Contrary to the popular belief there will be no sinful party in hell with all your other rowdy friends.
God saves people who have entered into a personal relationship with him through faith and repentance.
