20 Bible Verses about Entering Life

'Be striving to go in through the straight gate, because many, I say to you, will seek to go in, and shall not be able;

Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide is the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it; how strait is the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it!

I am the door, through me if any one may come in, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go out, and find pasture.
