That's the problem, Few know what Jesus taught. That is why Jesus teaches FEW will find the road.
Here is a super important teaching from Jesus:
Matthew 6:33--Therefore, keep on seeking- FIRST- the kingdom and his ( YHVH(Jehovah) righteousness, and all these things will be added( sustenance, covering, spirituality)
That word FIRST means ultra important. The true followers heart instructs their mind daily to accomplish Matt 6:33 They know it by heart already. Then they can accomplish John 4:22-24= the bottom line reality of a true followers daily life-without fail. Not a single church on earth teaches this ultra important reality. Its Jesus' Fathers will, and Jesus is clear at Matthew 7:21--Only those living now to do his Fathers will get to enter his kingdom.
Salvation is a free gift in the sense none deserve it. God accepts 0 sin. Jesus is 100% clear at Matthew 7:21-23--Only those living now to do Jesus' Fathers will get to enter his kingdom. And Jesus teaches it will be FEW. So those who really follow Jesus, obey Jesus and have learned every utterance from God and applied them as Jesus teaches man MUST do. Few listen to Jesus that is why Few will enter the kingdom. The majority of those who claim to belong to Jesus do not even know what he actually teaches. How can one obey Jesus if they do not know what he teaches?
Salvation is a free gift, and it is by grace through faith one is saved (Ephesians 2:8-9). And because it's by grace, it cannot be of works; otherwise, grace is no longer grace (Romans 11:6). There are NO works involved in salvation; man is totally passive in receipt of this free gift (John 1:12-13, 3:1-8, 6:44, 6:65; Ephesians 2:1-6).
God accepts 0 sin; that's why Jesus, Who was sinless, died to provide life for His sheep (Romans 5:9, John 10:11). If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us (1 John 1:8); but if we do sin, we have an Advocate in Jesus (1 John 2:1), Who ever lives to make intercession for His own (Hebrews 7:25).
Jesus knows His sheep (John 10:14); so when he tells people in Matthew 7:23 that He never knew them, it is obvious that He *never* knew them. Not at any one point. They were never His sheep. They could not have ever been His sheep, because Jesus has promised never to lose a single one of His sheep (John 6:39, 10:27-29; Luke 15:4).
Actually the bible teaches one can see the Father in Jesus. So yes they can know him. The bible is all about his will. Yes few know his will because 99% of the religions claiming to be Christian--aren't. They are blind guides failing the Father and the son. And every person listening to them.
Jesus speaking ABOUT Entering the highest kingdom called,'' Zoe kingdom, and it is about the higher Zoe Kingdom, IT DOES NOT INSINUATE ALL people going to hell, it speak to the heros and people who came and overcame the spirt that came to us from a differnt word. These spirits we must overcome, and before we can overcome them, Christians must become aware that the ABOMINATION DOSE EXISTAND IT IS INSIDE THEM, but they are convinced there is nothing to overcome, no race, no progression onto the texmple.
AGAIN, BEFORE can form Christ in you, that Christ now inside you, isnto become and humble submissive virgin, AND THE VERY FIRST THING THAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO BECOME AWARE, TO REALIZE THAT YOU HAVE AND ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION INSIDE YOU.''YOU NEED A NEW ADAM. YOU ARE THE TEMPLE, THE ABOMINATION IS YOU.
NoW WHAT?
You have to discern between the innocent, ot the haughty, vain spirit
The haught, irratonal, vain, full of pride, he is also with you, and here you are between then two,bas if there was a fight,
TRUTH MATTERS Jesus was ALWAYS speaking of Gentiles who did not know the law
There is one kingdom--Gods kingdom. No other kingdom is mentioned that the true followers go to.

Faith is valueless without works. Faith is required for salvation. Thus faith and works go hand in hand. Jesus did NOT die for unrepented sin. That is what one who works iniquity is, a practicer or willfull sin. At Heb 10:26 Paul is clear--No sacrifice left for any who practice a sin. Acts 3:19--Repent to get sins blotted out. So if ones teacher says all sin is covered by the death of Jesus--they do not know him, run from them.

Paul the imposter deceives you.
Follow the good shepherd.
The one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
So if ones teacher says all sin is covered by the death of Jesus--they do not know him, run from them.
All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men, except the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:31). If a man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His (Romans 8:9). It is the Spirit Who gives life (John 6:63).

There are only two categories of men: the righteous and the wicked. How shall the righteous sin so that grace may abound, when the righteous have been made slaves of righteousness? (Romans 6:1-18) The righteous are this way from having been washed clean of sin by the blood of the Lamb. The sin in view in Hebrews 10:26, which the Jewish Christians who are addressed were in danger of, is essentially reiterated elsewhere in the same book: e.g.; neglecting so great a salvation (Hebrews 2:3); returning to the spiritual infancy of the Law (Hebrews 5:12-14), which is crucifying unto oneself Christ (Hebrews 6:4-6), instead of the Law (Romans 7:4; Galatians 2:19-20, 3:21-27, 4:1-7); and turning from the New Covenant (Hebrews 12:18-29).

"The just man shall live because he is faithful. "
"The just mans mouth speaks wisdom and His tongue does what is right. The law of His God is in His heart. He does not stumble."
" The just man mouth is a fountain of life. "
"If only they ha d stood in my counsel. If only they had declared my words to my people it would have changed them from their wicked ways and their evil deeds."
" Those who revered the Lord spoke with one another and the Lord listened attentively so a record book was kept of those who revered the Lord and trusted His name. And they will be mine says the Lord when I take action and I will have compassion on them as a Father has compassion on a son who serves him. Then you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked. Between those who serve God and those who do not. " says the Lord.
