This word chara, as it is used in the New Testa

There are two places in the New Testament where Jesus is recorded as teaching about the narrow gate, or the narrow door to life, and then states that few people find it. In Matthew 7, in the same chapter as the Sermon on the Mount, we have a teaching from Jesus that reads in the English NIV:
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, a

”God’s Abounding Love,” What Does That Mean?
“You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call on you.”
Isn't that beautiful and true? That is a reason we want to walk with God, a reason why we crave being near to him. The reason is because we know when we call on him, he will forgive us, he will be good to us and he will show us his abounding love

”Jesus Redeems.” What Does That Mean?
We Christians use a lot of "insider" terminology. One of the words we frequently use is the word redeem. We say that we are "redeemed" by Christ, or that God is our Redeemer.
Whatever does that mean? Usually in today's world, the only time we see the word redeem outside of a Bible study is on a coupon! For example, "Redeem this voucher for one free Chik fil A sandwich!"

What did Jesus mean when he said, “I am the Resurrection and the Life”? (John 11:25)

You will also see that, over and over again, people were praised by Jesus for their faith when they did nothing more than this: they made an effort to come to Jesus for
