What does the Bible say about the narrow and wide gates?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the narrow gate leads to life and the wide gate leads to destruction.

In Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus contrasts two gates: one wide and popular, leading to destruction, and another narrow, leading to life. The wide gate represents the easy, accommodating way of the world where many choose to walk, indulging in sin and self-righteousness without real commitment to Christ. Conversely, the narrow gate demands sacrifice, repentance, and unwavering allegiance to Jesus, leading to eternal life in His presence.
