- Description
- Runia speaks on the topic of salvation from Luke 13:23–24. The man who questions Jesus treats the issue as a theological discussion rather than a personal concern, approaching it from a distant, intellectual perspective. In the same way, many people engage with religion merely as outside observers, regarding it as an abstract pursuit. Jesus rejects this detached stance and instead commands people to “strive” in relation to salvation. Runia notes that interpreting this command as teaching works-based salvation misrepresents the fullness of Jesus’ message and misapplies the passage. To enter through the narrow door requires emptying oneself of self-righteousness. Runia observes that this is not a one-time act but an ongoing process throughout the Christian life, in which believers continually learn to lay aside self-reliance and adopt a humble attitude in their walk with God.
