Is the narrow way hard to enter?

No, the narrow way is not hard to enter. The way is narrow, but the way in is so easy that anybody can find it. It is available to anyone who will simply believe, because salvation is exclusively through Jesus Christ, not through a train load of requirements.

Les explains that the narrow way is not hard to enter because of difficult requirements. It is narrow in that it is exclusive: there is no other name given among men whereby we must be saved than the name of Jesus. Many are going to an eternal devil's hell by the millions because they will not come into this exclusivist narrow way that God has prescribed. But God is fair; He has made it available to anybody if they will simply believe. Les points out that if God had put on a whole train load of requirements, stipulations, rules, and regulations, then it would be unfair, but that is not the case. The way is narrow, but the way in is so easy anybody can find it. He illustrates from John's Gospel, Chapter 10, the sheepfold and the door: anyone who enters the sheepfold must come in by the door; if he tries to come in over the top, he is a thief and a robber.
