If salvation was so simple, Satan wouldn't be working so hard to lead others to destruction. The Bible clearly tells us that the path to Heaven is narrow. The broad path is the popular one thay leads to destruction. Few will be saved. Why? Because it takes major sacrifice to give up this temptuous life. Jesus did so. He told us to. And nobody I know is doing it. Hence the reason. FEW WILL MAKE IT TO HEAVEN BECAUSE PEOPLE ARENT WILLING TO GIVE UP ENOUGH TO PROVE THEY DESERVE IT.

From the sounds of it, churchianity has led you astray. Salvation IS simple! Just believe. Add anything else to that and it's "work's" salvation.

"But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." 2 Corinthians 11:3 (KJB)

And to say it takes "major sacrifice" is to set up people for a "work's" mentality. Remember, it is NOT about what we do beyond belief, so technically, we don't sacrifice anything other than putting off the "old man and his deeds", we simply believe in the name of Jesus Christ.

FEW WILL MAKE IT TO HEAVEN BECAUSE PEOPLE ARENT WILLING TO GIVE UP ENOUGH TO PROVE THEY DESERVE IT.

No need to shout.

Especially stuff that is untrue. It isn't about what we give up!

People won't make it to heaven because of unbelief. That's it. There is no deserving of salvation. We deserve death!

"Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:" Romans 11:20 (KJB)
