Support from the Message
- He says his eyes were opened to how narrow the road that leads to life is. - He says the words about few finding that road mean exactly what they say. - He was once told that when God looks at him, He does not see his sin, and that he is clothed in the righteousness of Christ. - He says a person who keeps returning to sin is in danger, and that fear is proper for someone who sins after being washed. - He also quotes Lactantius, who says no one should despair or lose hope, because a person who repents can be set free.
