Strive to Enter? Run the Race?
Why did Jesus say to “work hard” or “strive” to enter through the narrow door? Why does Paul talk about “running a race” and trying to “win”? Does daily confession cause God to forgive us more?
“How do we enter God’s rest?”
Why does 1 John say we need no one to teach us? What does it mean to enter God’s rest? What message did Israel hear and not believe? How is that an example for us today? How do we make sense of a passage in Proverbs that seems contradictory about answering a fool?
