do you know Jesus commands us to keep His commandments?
It would be easier to jump across the Grand Canon than to keep the commandments.
By the law is the knowledge of sin, Romans 3:20.
So you willingly work against His word.
Then you will not be saved because accepting Jesus as your Lord is condition for salvation.
No one is working against his word.
Jesus is trying to tell you that your righteousness falls short of the glory of God, but you don't hear him.
He is not trying to tell. He is commanding.
If He is your Lord, you will obey His commands or teachings.
Do you know He also says if you love Him keep His commands?
How much clearer can you get?
You cannot twist His simple and clear word. It is blasphemy.
The narrow gate represents Jesus.
"I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but by me".
Not by the law. Not by religion. Not by trying to be good enough.
If you want to be saved, it will have to be on his merit and not your own.

that's right and you deny Jesus' laws by your theory.
You cannot inherit God' kingdom by denying Jesus' teachings or His laws.
what is wrong with you?
Your denial is just amazing.
I don't think you have reading comprehension.
What Jesus says is simple and clear even the children can understand it.
What Jesus is saying is that your righteousness falls short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23.
You cannot fall short of the glory of God if you trust Jesus' word or teachings, and strive to follow Him diligently

You are trusting in yourself who is a sinner, when you should be trusting in Jesus who was without sin.
False accusation.
If I don't trust Jesus I will not spread Jesus' word of being faithful to His teachings.
You are the one who don't trust His word and spread your own theory.
You spread anti-Christ gospel.

Paul is quoting Psalm14:1-3; 53:1-3; and Ecclesiastes 7:20. Ecclesiastes SAYS there is not a RIGHTEOUS man who does what is right and NEVER SINS. Ecclesiastes tells us that there ARE RIGHTEOUS men but none who have NEVER sinned. Paul is explaining that the Jews were sinners just like the Gentiles. Nowhere in these passages or scriptures anywhere does it say no one has to obey. In this same Ecclesiastes 7, Solomon tells us about wise men, righteous men, and about a man who pleases God. Solomon also tells us that he found one upright man among a thousand. The Bible tells us that there are people who want to do right.
Now read these scriptures:
Righteousness Through Faith
Romans 3:21 But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
In Romans 3:21, we see that those who want to obey God--now is made known a way--faith in Jesus Christ. The way has been MADE KNOWN. Jesus tells us what we have to do. It is light, easy, and not burdensome.

Jesus tells us what to do. Why do you deny the truth? Jesus' words are not limited to Jews. Jesus' words didn't stop being life. According to you, Jesus told Jews how to try to be good enough, and it was the wrong thing to tell them, according to you.

The narrow gate that leads to life is WHO Jesus Christ is and WHAT Jesus Christ did at the Cross of Calvary.
Those who believe WHO He is and WHAT He did have found the narrow gate.

Have you, meshak, started your ministry (being that you OBEY Jesus' teaching) in Jerusalem, then have you gone to Judea, then to Samaria, then to the uttermost parts of the world? (Acts 1:8)
