What does making every effort to be saved mean?

Answered in 1 source

Making every effort to be saved means actively seeking Christ, repenting of sin, and engaging in spiritual disciplines.

When Jesus calls us to 'make every effort' to enter through the narrow door, He urges individuals to diligently pursue the means of grace provided by God. This involves actively engaging in spiritual practices such as public worship, reading Scripture, prayer, and seeking fellowship with other believers. It recognizes that while salvation is a gift from God, individuals must respond to this gift with a sincere desire for change and a willingness to turn away from sin. This effort is not about earning salvation, but rather demonstrating genuine faith and commitment to Christ, reflecting a heart that seeks true transformation and holiness.
