A Barna poll shows that for every American who believes he or she is going to Hell, there are 120 who believe they're going to Heaven.{4} Yet Christ said otherwise: "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" {Matthew 7:13-14}.
A recent Barna poll indicates a stark contrast between Americans' beliefs about their afterlife, revealing that for every individual who fears they are destined for Hell, there are 120 who feel assured of going to Heaven. This suggests a widespread sense of security regarding salvation and eternal life among the population.
