WORD OF GOD - LK 13:23-25

LUKE 13:23-25

Someone asked him, ‘Lord, will only a few be saved?’ He said to them, ‘Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. When once the owner of the house has got up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, “Lord, open to us”, then in reply he will say to you, “I do not know where you come from.”

---- mine,

Remember that no matter how many years are allotted to you they will all come to an end. Time for you will cease someday and you will be called to give an account of your life before the one whom the Father has appointed as the righteous judge. At that time if you come before Me with empty hands it will not matter one whit that you spent your whole life praying long prayers and fasting. In the end, you will be judged on the quality of the love you had for your neighbor - for it is the measure by which you prove that you loved  Me. Remember My words, etch them on your heart, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”
