How can you recognize whether you are entering through the narrow gate or are on the broad way?
Entering through the narrow gate leads to life and few are those who find it. Entering through the wide gate leads to destruction.

How can you recognize whether you are entering through the narrow gate or are on the broad gate?

The narrow gate is small, not only because it will admit less people, but because the criteria to enter through it is precise.  Jesus tells us that the only way to get to the father is through him.  He also tells us to come follow me.  

I am trying to enter through that narrow gate because I fight to be like Jesus every day. Being a true Christian (following Christ) is a lifelong challenge. I have faith its worth it.

How can you recognize whether you are entering through the narrow gate or are on the broad way?
I know when I am entering through the broad way because I begin to slip into my old way of thinking. My thoughts become carnal and if I don't stay prayful I will succumb to  the worldly life. I believe that if you play around quicksand you may be drawn into it, so I tend to want to be around people of a Godly life and mind set. The narrow way is quite disciplined and there is order in the narrow way. It causes you to live right and holy and it never fails to sustain you. I love the narrow way because I love God and I believe that if I am to see Him there is no other way but the straight and narrow.

I can recognize whether I'm entering through the narrow gate by realizing that I'm suffering and struggling and yet I don't give up trusting God. And that if I'm on the broad way everything goes easy for me and forget about the most High.

If you're doing everything "the easy way"...if you're not struggling...if you're just thinking about you and only you, then it's safe to say it'll be the BROAD way for you! If you're struggling and HAPPILY going thru "stuff" life is throwing at you...if you include Jesus in everything you do..if you're really trying to be a "good kid"...then it's the narrow gate!!!!!

We are entering through the narrow gate when we follow God's teachings and obey the Commandments, this is the gate that leads to life because we are with Jesus. But the broad way leads to destruction because we are not with Jesus.

By your lifestyle.If you seek earthly pleasures, think only of your happiness, surely these are signs of being on the broad way.Making Jesus your first priority, striving to live a life  that reflects Jesus teachings e.g love,peace,etc. are signs of being towards the narrow path. Jesus strengthen us in our journey on the narrow path .It's not easy  we can't do in all alone we need your help.Thank you loving Jesus.

the narrow and wide gate how to know
The narrow gate is the one that leads to heaven,the wide gate is the one that leads as it reads to destruction which would be hell.people have to live or strive to live a holy and pure life,put God first above all,minister to others and help the less fortunate.people will say did i not do this is in your name and God will say depart from me because i do not know you.We all have to live as he directs us.

The Narrow and Wide Gates

"Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.
