20 Bible Verses about Entering Life

"You must struggle on to get in through the narrow door, for I tell you, many will try to get in, but will not succeed,

"Go in by the narrow gate, for broad and roomy is the road that leads to destruction, and many are going in by it. But narrow is the gate and hard is the road that leads to life, and few are they that find it.

I am the door myself. Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

Blessed are those who wash their robes, so as to have a right to the tree of life and to enter the gates of the city.

If your hand makes you do wrong, cut it off. You might better go into life maimed than keep both your hands and go down to the pit, to the fire that is never put out.

And if your foot makes you do wrong, cut it off. You might better go into life crippled than keep both your feet and be thrown into the pit.

So in my anger I took oath, 'They shall not be admitted to my rest!'"

For we who have believed are being admitted to that rest, just as He has said: "As in my anger I took oath, they shall not be admitted to my rest," although God's works had been completed at the creation of the world.

So let us fear that when the promise for us to be admitted to His rest is still remaining valid some one of you may be found to have missed it.

while in this passage again He says: "They shall not be admitted to my rest."

Since then it still remains that some are being admitted to it and that those who first had the good news told to them were not admitted because of disobedience,

So let us do our best to be admitted to that rest, so that not one of us may fail through the same sort of disobedience.

"And if your own hand or your own foot makes you do wrong, cut it off and put it out of your way. It is better for you to get into life maimed or crippled than to have both hands or both feet to be thrown into everlasting torture.

And if your own eye makes you do wrong, pluck it out and put it out of your way. It is better for you to go into life with a single eye than to have both eyes to be thrown into the pit of torture.

Now the reaper is already getting pay, for he is gathering a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

Whoever loves his lower life will lose the higher, but whoever hates his lower life in this world preserves the higher for eternal life.

And everyone who has given up home or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms, for my sake, will receive many times as much, and in addition will be in possession of eternal life.

who will not receive now in this life a hundred times as much in houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, but along with them persecution, and in the world to come eternal life.

who will not receive in return many times more in this world, and in the next eternal life."

The person who sows to gratify his lower nature will reap destruction from that lower nature, and the person who sows to gratify his higher nature will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
