I believe this is what is meant by this teaching from Jesus---- Enter through the narrow gate, for cramped is the road that leads off into life( eternal) FEW will find it. For broad and spacious the path that leads to destruction, many have entered this way.
Cramped = no stepping off left( sin) or right( sin)but looking straight ahead to Gods kingdom and living for entrance into it now by living to do Gods will( Matt 16:24,Matt 7:21)= (spiritual)= righteous
Broad and spacious path = accepting some of Gods truths but throwing others away, sinning and asking forgiveness and repeating= not repentence) having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power. Did not bother to listen to Jesus who taught--Man does not live by bread alone, but by EVERY utterance from God.( this meant daily)= a worker of iniquity)( flesh)
Jesus taught---- Go sin no more------ he meant it.
