Let’s face it. The path to eternal life is not a soft, flowery way of ease. Jesus laid such emphasis upon this in so many texts that we cannot be blind to it. He said, “Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:14). One of the very first principles of being a Christian is self-denial. Christ said, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23). To be a Christian involves complete surrender. Our Lord’s parable of the pearl and the merchantman reveals that we must be willing to invest every single thing we have in obtaining that tremendous prize of eternal life. If we allow one thing or one person to come between us and doing the will of Christ, we cannot be saved.
