Jesus answers that to be saved, it is not enough for the person to know the Lord, rather the Lord needs to know the person. What does this mean?

Narrow door - so one needs to humble and make himself small - lowering the head and the self to hopefully make it in. No use for shouting either which implies pridefully claiming the right to be let in. You can`t crash down the doors of heaven. Peter`s got the keys and to him ''the Church'' you need to go and humbly ask to go in. Like when you kneel in the confessional box and you need to kneel at Jesus` feet or like Rut ''? but Ester comes to mind too wiy??th her humility'' who humbly lies resting at the feet of the future husband making herself small. Not pretending but faithfully hoping but snuggling already in the protective presence.
