The Right Group | August 28, 2021

From the book “Truth For Today: A Daily Touch of God’s Grace” by John F. MacArthur

There are few who find it. - Matthew 7:14

Those who are drawn by God’s Spirit to enter at the narrow gate and travel the narrow way are in the right spiritual group. Those in the wrong spiritual group include all pagans and nominal Christians, all atheists and superficial religionists, all nominal theists and secular humanists, and people from all ethnic and economic backgrounds who don’t have a saving faith in Jesus Christ. They enter the through the wide gate and travel the broad way that leads to destruction.

Jesus said “‘Many are called, but few are chosen'” (Matthew 22:14). The right group is not small simply because the gate is too narrow or the way is too restrictive. Believers are few because so many people refuse to repent of their sins and trust in Jesus for salvation. They would rather die in darkness (see John 3:19).

Everyone who wants to come to Jesus Christ can, with God’s help, do so: “‘All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out'” (John 6:37). And those who come will forever be in the right group.
