The answer in part can be found in the teachings of Jesus Christ...
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13-14, KJV)
There are few who find the way that leads to life. Jesus wasn't just speaking of eternal life, but a way of living that promotes life as special and sacred. Christ modeled this way of living for all who wish to follow after Him.
