So go through this narrow gate and be thankful for the Lord's chastening. The way to eternal life is only one step wide. On one side is the fire and on the other side the sea. Look my son, there are no short cuts. There is no easier option.
Every alternate route leads to death.
The way of life is found by few and walked upon by fewer yet. My child, don't follow the crowd. Keep your feet from the way of the majority because it leads to hell. Don't draw back from the cross. Flee the world.
