talk to you. Again, 833 The Core. You can also email us your question at Questions at Core

Christianity.com. First up today, let's go to Jared calling in from Texas. Jared, what's your

question for Adrile? Hi, my question was about Luke 1324, where it's, you know, says that, you know, strive to enter the narrow

gate.

I guess my question was, how does one reconcile Jesus' words to strive to enter the narrow

gates while knowing that it is only by faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ

that saves us, and how can one avoid a false theology of works or, like, performance-driven

moralism, and yet carefully and practically obey Christ's command in Luke 1324? And then, I guess,

maybe kind of a spinoff from that is for someone who's I

mean for myself my conscience often accuses me of often having not truly repented and

believed in salvation and just how to know like if I've repented enough to demonstrate a saving

faith which I know no one never repents enough but just maybe some advice there quite a bit there

Jared and I just want to take a moment to pray for you first as you wrestle through these things

gracious Father in heaven, lift up our brother

Jared to you.

Thank you for your word.
