Les Feldick Bible Study

Why is the narrow way not unfair if it is so hard that few find it?

The narrow way is not unfair because God has made salvation available to anybody who will simply believe, not through a trainload of requirements, rules, or stipulations. The way is narrow, but the way in is easy, so anyone can find it through the prescribed door, Jesus.

Les explains that people complain the gospel is exclusivist, but Scripture declares there is no other name given among men whereby we must be saved than the name of Jesus. He teaches that millions go to an eternal devil's hell because they will not come into the exclusivist narrow way God has prescribed. When objectors say God is unfair, Les responds that God is too fair: He has made it available, even though the way is narrow, to anybody if they will just simply believe. If God had put on a trainload of requirements, stipulations, rules, and regulations, then unfairness could be charged. But that is not the case. The way is narrow, yet the way in is so easy anybody can find it. The sheepfold analogy in John 10 shows entry must be by the door; climbing over the top makes one a thief and robber.
