THE BIBLE DECLARES: ONLY A FEW CHRISTIANS, NOT BILLIONS
“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
—Matthew 7:14
Saw a website which claimed that “billions of Christians” were praying.
Unfortunately, this is not biblical.
Even the most optimistic of worldly sources (which includes various cults–Roman Catholics, Mormons, Quakers, etc–as “Christians”) only puts Christianity somewhere slightly under 2 billion people.
Of course, readers know that all who claim they are Christians are not. The Bible says that “few” are saved. Therefore, when referring to Christians, one should keep in mind that few Christians actually exist in the world today.
Jesus Himself declared:
“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
—Matthew 7:14
Readers can also know that few are saved because of the times in which we live.
The Bible declares that the whole world will worship the dragon (Satan) during the end times. The only exception to this will be the few whose names are written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
“And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
–Revelation 13:8
Few there be that find eternal salvation.
Are you one of the few?
“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
—Matthew 7:14
Is your calling and election sure?
THERE is still time to change direction (repent) and place one’s trust in Almighty God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
