When Jesus tells the crowd to "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door" in Luke 13, it would appear prima facie that he is referring to salvation by works. While interpreting Scripture as isolated texts is poor exegesis, what was Jesus communicating in this setting to these folks? The context appears to be non-Pharisees or, at most, a mixture of some Pharisees and regular folk.
