Bible Truth FAQs
THE MAJORITY WILL BE LOST ?
This is an unpopular premise and fingers point to those who are so narrow-minded as to even hint that anyone will be eternally lost. Faith in God and his word will lead us to be just as broad, likewise just as narrow, as is God's word.
What does the Bible say about the ratio between the lost and the saved? Jesus himself stated in plain terminology (recorded in Matt. 7:13-14) that many would enter the wide gate and broad way leading to destruction, and that few would find the strait gate and narrow way leading unto life. The scriptural ratio then is many/few, which unmistakably teaches the majority will be lost.
"Following the crowd" will put one in the majority. Following Jesus and doing his will will surely put one in the minority. Being "IN CHRIST" considerably narrows it down, and this is the minority who will be saved eternally.
