However, very few succeed because the road to salvation is not an easy one.

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." (Matthew 7:13-14, NIV)

This Scripture reference shows that the walk to God is not for the faint hearted or easily discouraged.

It means you have to fight against the hurdles of life, including our sinful nature, to get the Lord.

Mark 2:3-5 says; "Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man,carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

Today, we are reminded to never back down, until we find our way back to God.
