If our concept of Jesus is incorrect, our whole spiritual life is flawed, establishing us on a wrong foundation. Metaphorically, Jesus said a house built on sand would be swept away by the flood of trials beating against that house. (Matthew 7:27). 

If our understanding of Jesus is flawed, we will follow "ANOTHER GOSPEL" (Galatians 1:6). Jesus said, "Enter ye in at the strait {constricted} gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 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).  The nature of humankind is to desire the benefits of eternal life, but not the qualifications demanded of us. "If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15)
