Matthew 7:13-14

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to (everlasting) life, and there are few who find it.  

We have free will and choices in this life. We can choose to follow our desires and deny God to pursue sin, or we can choose eternal life. The path to follow God will be more difficult and less traveled. However, we are not alone. Jesus will walk it with us, making sure we get to the destination. It all depends on us.
