7. What alternative gate is available for people to enter? Matthew 7:13. Consider Jeremiah 21:8.
NOTE: ‘These roads are distinct, separate, in opposite directions. One leads to eternal life, the other to eternal death. I saw the distinction between these roads, also the distinction between the companies traveling them. The roads are opposite; one is broad and smooth, the other narrow and rugged. So the parties that travel them are opposite in character, in life, in dress, and in conversation.’ Christian Experience & Teachings, page 156.
8. Where do the wide gate and broad way lead to? Matthew 7:13.
NOTE: ‘Now the reason why the road to destruction is so broad is because a person may get there by doing anything not in harmony with the Ten Commandments. There are thousands of ways in which a person may do wrong; there is only one way of doing right. The way to life is both a strait and straight. Right means straight, direct; as Bunyan expresses it, is a way cast up as straight as a line can make it. The broad way is all the world, unlike this straight and narrow way, which is not of this world.’ E. J. Waggoner: Signs of the Times, September 1, 1887.
