The Narrow Gate

(Matthew 7:13, 14) The Bible explicitly states that there is "one faith." (Ephesians 4:5) Clearly, many who are on the "broad" road have a religion. But they do not have the "one faith." Since there is only one true form of worship, those who desire to find that true faith will have to seek it out

Jesus first appealed to the Jews (of which He was one), which are of a certain religion, and then gentiles, who had a myriad of religions. The Old testament shows God appealing to men of many different religions. The "faith" God is looking for is the faith in the One God, supreme Creator of all things.

He could care less about our religions. It's our hearts, minds and souls He is interested in. Man does not turn man towards God, God does that all by Himself.
