The Bible explains, "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life [חי], and some to shame and everlasting contempt." (Daniel 12:2). Although many people want to awaken, Jesus stated that most people enter the "wide and easy way to destruction," rather than the narrow path to liberation. Be sure that you are entering the path to life rather than the path deeper into suffering.
