Nephi is so terribly anxious that people who have entered the strait and narrow pathway leading to the tree of life resist the temptation to think that just being on the pathway is sufficient. It is the way but it is not the goal. All who enter the gate and ascend the strait and narrow path must continue feasting on the words of Christ in the scriptures and constantly measure their daily conduct by those principles. Salvation cannot be attain by any other way. This is the only way to be saved.
