Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it. — Mark 10:15
What is the “secret of the kingdom” (p. 182)? Does this surprise you? Why or why not? What implications does this have for our striving “to enter through the narrow door”?
What would a presumptuous response to the presence of the kingdom look like? Why shouldn’t we be presumptuous in our joy?
Why might we not take Jesus’ demand to strive seriously? Why might we not sense the urgency of it?
Look over the nine things to remember which help us in our striving on pp. 184–189. Where are these truths taken from? What does this tell you about the importance and function of Scripture in the fight of faith?
Which of the nine truths listed on pp. 184–189 is most meaningful to you? Why? Meditate upon this truth this week and pray that God would use it to help you strive to enter through the narrow door.
